A good home-made green vegetable soup … There is nothing better to warm up! Simple, fast and so much better than the can soup! The green soup recipe is also very comforting, packed with vitamins and low in calories. What I like about this soup is that you can vary the recipe according to what you have in your fridge.
The Phytochemicals that you will find in this green soup recipe will contribute to heart health, folic acid, vitamin E, fiber and antioxidants, thanks to all its green vegetables !
