Detox Soup, Let's Recover from Thanksgiving

November 30, 2020

I obtained this recipe through a Facebook group I'm a part of. The group is called Jacksonville Foodies and full of wonderful people with great ideas for all kinds of recipes. Kavitha Penta was kind enough to share a great recipe with the group. I tweaked the recipe a bit, according to tastes my family and I enjoy. Feel free to do the same!

After feasting on that tongue pleasing Thanksgiving Day food, I think we should all listen to our stomachs and detox a bit. This recipe is for a quick, simple, easy detox soup. It has vegetables chicken broth, and you don't even need to add any oil to it. It's very basic, but delicious. Hard to believe? Check it out - you're gonna love it!
