This green detox soup is great for anyone who wants to boost immune function, improve digestion, or promote detoxification. There are only five simple ingredients, but they are incredibly nutritious. Celery is the new “it” food at the moment because it helps lower blood pressure, encourage digestion, reduce stress, and aid with weight loss.
The fact that this soup is green means that is contains a lot of folate, which is the non-synthesized version of folic acid. Folate is beneficial for brain health, heart health, fetal development, and the production of red blood cells. We hope you enjoy this soup!
