Green Soup
This Green Soup is beautifully colored green and dense with nutrient-rich vegetables. Green Soup is the perfect addition to any dinner no matter if it’s the main course or served as a side.
Green Soup can be made vegan by replacing the chicken stock with vegetable stock. Adding animal protein is also an option if you want a more substantial meal.
The idea for Green Soup came from my fabulous friend, Ana W. She is a brilliant nurse who is dedicated to health and wellness in her professional and private life. Spending time with Ana is always inspirational and motivates new ideas. When the usual question, “What’s for dinner, tonight?” She described a soup, using left over green veggies and it sounded so amazing, it inspired me to create this version of Green Soup so we will call it Ana’s Green Soup.
