I love a good chicken soup and this has become one of my go-tos when I want to graze on something healthy throughout the week. It's loaded with veggies, and has the added immune boosting benefit of special ingredients like turmeric, ginger and ACV which help with inflammation and promote detoxification naturally.
It is gluten free, dairy free, and paleo to boot!
With protein, vegetables, vitamins, and minerals, it provides more nutrients than most of the world’s population receives on any given day. So don’t be afraid to give it a try! Plus, it's a great way to use up all those veggies in your fridge. Enjoy!
