I started making vegetable-based soups every week when I did the Conscious Cleanse for the first time a little over a year ago, and this recipe would be suitable while you are cleansing. But it’s a delicious soup anytime and you can feel good about getting lots and lots of greens.
While I make similar soups most weeks, this combo worked out really well as it’s nice and balanced. And I was really just cleaning out the fridge…
