Send the hearty winter stews and soup recipes into hibernation and embrace the bounty of fresh spring produce that are showing up at the greenmarket. Whether it's spring staples like ramps and leeks or the overwintered vegetables that can be even sweeter than their true spring produce counterparts, there are so many exciting ways to celebrate this season's fruits and veggies. That means spring salad recipes, vegetarian recipes, and of course, these delicious soups. When all you really need to wake up from the grog of winter, we've got you covered with everything from cold soba to green minestrone and cream of fennel soup.
