Green Detox Soup
Green Detox Soup
My green detox soup – super healthy, but the flavours from the fresh herbs & ginger are amazing! And the kick from the green chilli is sooooo good!!!Tip: Check the heat of your green chilli, they can vary so much!! Slice it open and stick a little on your tongue. If it’s super hot, use less. If it’s very weak, use more!!The Greek yoghurt is so good at balancing the kick out.
