Green Detox Soup
Green Detox Soup
This is super healthy, but the flavours from the fresh herbs and ginger are amazing! Plus the kick from the green chilli is so good!Tip: Check the heat of your green chilli, as they can vary a lot. 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 also does a good job of balancing the kick out.
