This was inspired by a cold Friday morning when I was going to spend time with my granddaughter on the 5th day of a detox. I love the creativity that comes when I am cleansing my body.

My home smelled divine! Do you know that feeling you get when good food is cooking? I am curious to see what you think, so please let me know.

As always use what you have in your kitchen and substitute what you don’t like.

This recipe is not using onion or garlic so it is SIBO friendly. If you have difficulty with bloating and gas you may find relief with this recipe. If you want to use onion and garlic it will make the soup even more delicious and there are many health benefits of onions and garlic.
