Green Veggie Soup to Boost Immunity

Soup recipes are suited to all VitaClay Models!

Soup is warming, soothing, and boosts immunity, especially when you use bone broth-one of the most traditional healing foods on the planet.

Every culture has used bone broth as a staple immune-builder. It's great for building up any body type, and even boosts fertility and benefits prenatal health.

The gelatin and collagen found in broths and stocks made from bones is also an age-defying elixir, giving your body and connective tissues regeneration like from no other source. And of course it's great for the joints, hair, skin and nails!

Adding green vegetables like broccoli and arugula to your soup can do nothing but increase the nutrition of this powerhouse even more.

This green soup is delicious, filling and builds up your immunity. Bon Apetit!
