Nutritionist Sharon Meyer from the Institute of Health and Healing recommends this versatile soup which includes nutrient-rich dark, leafy greens, adding naturally powerful phytochemicals and amino acids to help build your immune system. Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Ingredients
- 1/2 bag of organic power greens, or super greens (or other sturdy greens, such as 1 bunch of kale, chard, or a bag of spinach – your choice).

Instructions
- Wash and roughly chop the greens.
- Put all greens and broth in a blender and mix together.
- Warm the soup and add your choice of chopped egg, avocado, shredded chicken, salsa, steak, shrimp, canned tuna or salmon, roasted vegetables, olive oil and lemon juice or tofu.
- Season with salt, pepper and chopped fresh herbs, as desired.
