About the soup

This delicious ‘eat your greens soup’ focuses on both phases of liver detoxification and healthy bile flow, which require the following nutrients:

  • protein

  • fat

  • fibre

  • sulphur

  • B vitamins, especially folate

  • magnesium

The soup has it all. It is specifically good to support methylation (e.g. lowering homocysteine or clearing out excess oestrogens) and the skin. Great for children who don’t like green vegetables.
