Summer Cajun Soup

Sweet sweet summer time! My favorite time of the year because of the variety of vegetables and fruits in season. This recipe highlights these vegetables- making sure they retain their crunch and unique taste. The veggies are enveloped in a spicy vivacious broth which is flavored with Cajun spices. (This recipe is very much inspired by The Pioneer Woman)
