Cleansing Green Soup
Lily Scott is the founder of Lily's Ladle and this is one of her favorite recipes. Actually, by her own admission, it is more of a method than a recipe. Lily says, "I regularly swap in veggies and greens that are seasonally available. I will use chicken, beef or veggie mineral broth--all are excellent in this soup. It's smooth and savory and a little spicy. I love it in all weather!"
