Warm Zesty Green Soup
Greens, greens, greens. I love to educate people about the benefits of greens and what they can do for your insides. And if you are anything like me, I am always looking for fresh new ways to incorporate a serving of greens into my day.I am excited to share with you the recipe I found. It was very simple to make and is loaded with healthy veggies! It's also loaded with some pretty beneficial stuff for your body. The uncooked garlic added to the soup really boosts your immune system. Parsley is a natural diuretic and helps reduce bloating, so does the lemon! Cilantro helps with anxiety and can lower your blood sugar. Have I sold you on the soup yet??The lemon added to the soup at the end when you blend it gives the soup real kick, and will keep you coming back for more!! I hope you enjoy it, I will just be over here making this soup on repeat.
