This is one of my all time favorite soups to make when I’m feeling like I’ve been eating too much processed food or need a little nutrition boost and detoxification support. It’s super simple, fast, and delicious.
For those of you who have trouble digesting raw vegetables, soups are an excellent way to extract the most nutrition from your veggies. This soup is rich in chlorophyll, vitamins A, C, B vitamins, sulfur, magnesium, and fiber, all of which help support our body’s natural ability to detoxify.
If you prefer, swap out the beans for chicken, or just add some chicken for a more protein rich meal.
