Nutritional values

Since lactic acid bacteria are used to produce Swedish milk (still a real insider tip in this country), the sour milk product is beneficial for the intestinal flora. The fresh herbs are rich in secondary plant substances that act as antioxidants. These protect the body cells from damage by free radicals.

The refreshing soup becomes vegan if you replace the Swedish milk with a plant-based alternative such as almond or soy drink and replace the honey with agave syrup.

Wash herbs, shake dry, set aside 1⁄4 of them; coarsely chop remaining herbs. Clean lettuce hearts, divide into leaves, wash and spin dry. Set aside 4 leaves; chop remaining leaves.
