i) spinach, kale, cabbage, Swiss chard, collard greens, mustard greens could be used in place of spring greens
ii) double the recipe if you fancy eating it over a couple of days.
iii) The butter beans can be substituted for other beans from your store cupboard if you don't have any.

I love soup and this sounds delicious.
I made a big pot of vegetable soup just yesterday. It is delicious. I added cannellini beans to it. Soup season is beginning!
This is also a tasty soup recipe warm hugs Elke
Soup does look really good and tasty. I've just finished eating mine at 4.30pm, yes a very late lunch so dinner will be late this evening.
It feels like a soup day here today, although the thermometer says it's warmer than yesterday. A hearty vegetable soup would just hit the spot!
The veggie soup looks yummy! Take care, enjoy your day!
I'm always ready for soup no matter what the season. This hearty vegetable soup sounds delicious and healthy. Thanks for the recipe.
...a wonderful autumn treat.
Is any meal more comforting than a bowl of homemade soup? This one looks so delicious, full of yummy things and nutritious too. I have bought a soup maker so must put it to good use soon!
This sounds so good, Jan. Our weather has turned cooler again and we just finished up some Minestrone. Thanks for the recipe...and I like the pumpkins on the mantle with the candles.
Such a delicious vegetable soup.
This sounds and looks delicious. I'll save the recipe for when the weather turns cooler here.
Oh that does look Jan :-D
It's a bit warm for soup here, but soon it'll be a good idea.
Our kids are coming for Thanksgiving. I'm going to make some zucchini bread. That is my goal. Small goals!
I'm going to keep this recipe for soup weather - still so HOT here.
this looks so delicious. we love soup as a meal with a big loaf of crusty bread!!
Hearty for sure..We are still in the 80's..Too warm for soup...Will save it for chilly weather..Yum
as soon as it cools down here in Southern Ontario, this is what I'll be making, thanks for sharing
Some tasty looking soups!!
I love that you added kale as an optional add-in. It's just soooooo good in soup. And cooks great in the pressure cooker. Soup sounds darn good about now.
This is the time now for hearty soups. 💗💗💗
This looks amazing. Yesterday I had some split pea soup and now I want to get home and make some soup. Sou makes the best meal sometimes when you want something comforting. :) Hope all is well Jan.
Me gustan las sopas. En Extremadura la sopa de tomates con higos es una delicia. Gracias Jan.
Un abrazo.
OMG this looks so good. I really like all of your soups and stews.
Hubby would like this with cabbage for sure :)
Una sopa estupenda y seguro que sabrosa. Besos.
