Source of recipe: I don't know about any of you guys, but my body has been screaming for a detox. Probably because each year in the past, around this time, my mom and sisters along with myself would do a detox together for a week or so. Once I lasted a whole month! And lived to tell the tale, obviously. I don't really enjoy detoxing. but coming up with fun edible items such as this soup makes me more excited to actually follow through with it. This soup is super easy to digest and contains ginger which is also good for digestive health, or so I hear. The drizzle just adds a certain "je ne sais quoi" to a seemingly "boring" soup base. I must add: this was made with a magic bullet, so don't worry if you don't have a vitamix/blendtec.
SO HOW'D IT GO?
Mine turned out a bit more yellow than the picture but tasted great! For a little more kick try adding some fresh garlic or a bit of hot sauce.
This looks so good!
