This super simple and nutritious soup was one of Claire’s mother’s favourites! It’s not fussy, it’s not fancy and it’s not hard to make. If you’re looking for an easy, healthy way to eat more greens and boost your immune system then this is the perfect soup for you. It’s also a great way to use up any green leftovers.
