Try this Vegan Cream Soup With Pear, Spinach & Sage recipe from the cookbook Vert Couleur Persil.

Since she started her food blog Vert Couleur Persil in 2014, chef Geneviève Plante has always had a passion for beautiful cuisine. Her third book is filled with simple recipes with a focus on fresh, organic ingredients and a zero-waste ethos. Although the cookbook is only available in French, she translated this delicious soup recipe just for House & Home!
