Green Vegetable Soup [Recipe]

I’ve been enjoying making new recipes lately.

Since I’ve stopped taking my prescribed medication, I’m realizing that food is a huge factor in my physical healing. In order to continue healing, I have to be aware of what I’m eating. Another post about this to come later.

When I came across this green vegetable soup recipe from Joe Cross, I knew I had to try it out. I’m so glad I did and I can’t wait to make it again. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

So.. I kinda forgot to take a picture of the finished product. I stole/borrowed this picture fro Joe Cross’s website. Don’t let the looks deceive you. The soup was delicious!
