Asian Seleriac Soup with Saffron
I loved to eat seleriac since I was a child. My mother used to cook a typical German seleriac soup and it was delicious. But I haven´t had an seleriac soup with Asian flavors jet. So I decided to change this situation. The result is a simple vegan and gluten free soup. I am sure you can impress your family and friends with this delicious soup.
