Spring Onion Soup

H was very excited to talk about the person who is managing a vegetable garden in Fujairah. He is an engineer from Holland, lucky enough to grow vegetables for own use.We too were lucky to get a bag of veggies from there! :) Lots of mint leaves, cabbage, carrots, onions and spring onions were there in the collection, and I was thinking what to do with this much of spring onions. There was a simple and delicious soup recipe of Martha Stewart's to save me, tried it out, and everyone really loved it!
