Here’s a refreshing, cooling recipe to get additional herbs into your diet. You’ll want to, since herbs are anti-inflammatory, nutritionally dense and some of them contain slight amounts of phytoestrogens (a good thing!).
This summer-friendly soup is packed full of nutrient-dense veggies, herbs and greens that will leave you feeling energized. It contains cilantro, which can safely pull heavy metals from the body in a gentle and natural way. Parsley is full of vitamin C, spinach is a nutritional powerhouse, and dandelion greens are great for healthy digestion and liver and gallbladder health. Bitter greens like dandelion greens are perfect at helping the liver out in spring and summer.
