Green Detox Soup

Green detox soup is a nutrient-packed, cleansing dish made from a variety of fresh

green vegetables like spinach, kale, broccoli, and zucchini. Often combined with herbs,
garlic, and lemon, it’s designed to promote digestion, boost energy, and support the

body's natural detoxification process. This light yet satisfying soup is rich in vitamins,
antioxidants, and fiber, making it a perfect choice for a healthy, revitalizing meal.
