Green Garden Soup
Help us celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Any day that goes by without green veggies – is not a complete day! Your body will thank you once you start to add in some form of GREEN. We're talking about any green veggies that ranges from spinach, to collards, to swiss chard, to zucchini, arugula, cabbage, green beans, broccoli, rapini, dandelion, salad greens and the list goes on.
