This soup is perfect to boost your immune system and is also great if you’re already sick. It will make you feel better because is so delicious, warm and cozy. In addition, the ingredients are awesome and have amazing health properties.
If you don’t like spicy food, omit the cayenne powder, although is so helpful if you want to remove mucus or you can’t breath properly.
Anyways, the best way to be healthy is following a balanced diet all year long, although there are some magic foods that can help us, like this miraculous green soup!

Hi Cathy! Thanks a lot 😀 Hope you like it!
Thanks so much for the recipe. This is my favourite soup ever now. It is so easy and so delicious.
Hi Annelise! You’re so welcome 🙂 I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Have a nice day!
This looks amazing. I really like you’re blog and videos. Please keep posting, your dog a great job.
Hi Esther! Thank you so much, you’re so kind 🙂
i live alone this is to much soup for me why don’t you send me some dishes for one i will make this but cut down the amounts
Hi Olive! I’m so sorry, but we only post the recipes on the blog, we can’t send you the recipes for one, but as you said, you can cut down the amounts 🙂
My wife has been craving something hot for some & comforting for some time now and so I decided to surprise her by making the soup.
It was easy and she loved it.
My wife is normally not a fan of smooth soups so I added cubes of cooked potatoes on the bottom and poured the soup over them. I highly recommend that addition if you do not mind the additional starch in your diet.
This will be a regular for our household.
Thanks,
Fred & Carrie

Hi Fred! I love starches, I eat them all the time. Thanks a lot for the amazing idea!
Making my second batch tonight, for my husband who is fighting a cold. The first batch was divine over black rice with pumpkin seeds on top.
Hi Marissa! I’m so glad you liked it! Hope your husband is better 🙂
I was skeptical when I read the ingredients but it actually tastes good. Made me feel better, Thanks you! 🙂
One more thing, I didn’t use Nutritional Yeast because I couldn’t find it. Why do you use it?
★★★
Hi Omid! I’m so glad you liked it 🙂 I use nutritional yeast because I love how it tastes, but you can omit it if you want. Have a nice day!
I have to admit, I was quite surprised at how good this tasted!
so simple and easy to make – yet so flavourful!!! My 2 year old and I couldn’t get enough. I put some udon noodles in for her thinking she would mostly eat the noodles but she proceeded to lift the bowl and drink the soup :)))
Definitely a keeper!

Hi Orly! I’m so glad you liked it! Udon noodles are great and so delicious 🙂 Have a nice day!
I am just eating a bowl of this soup as i’m writing this comment and it tastes amazing!
Usually i’m not a huge fan of peas at all – but in this combination they taste delicious!

Hi Miles! I’m so glad you liked it 😀 Hope you enjoy the mayo!

Hi Paula! So glad you liked it 😀
Saved to try when I’m home from my current trip. But I would never throw out the stalk of broccoli. I always use it for something: soup, stir fry, slaw, etc.
Hi Linda! Hope you like th soup 🙂
I love this soup! I made it twice, it’s great over pasta and rice.
Have you frozen it before? This is the only way I’ve used leeks and I want to use them all up, so I’ve thought about making 4 times as much and freezing the extras.
Thank you for this delicious recipe!
Hi Robin! So glad you liked it 🙂 No, I haven’t, but I think it should work. Have a nice day!
This is hands down my favourite soup ever! I find it especially good when I’m feeling under the weather or a bit low, or when I feel my diet hasn’t been as good as it could have been. Also, it’s delicious!

Hi Hannah! Thanks a lot, so glad you liked it! Have a nice day 😀
Loaded with flavor! Delicious. I made this every week for 3 weeks running. I added one potato and jalapeño – masking an excellent soup even better!
Hi Gretchen! Thanks a lot 🙂 Sounds amazing!
Love love love this soup!! I make double quantity and also add cauliflower to it…best ever winter warmer, goes well with a nice Shiraz. 😉 xxxx
Hi Kerry! I’m so glad you liked it so much 🙂 Have a nice day!
Hey Iosune,
What does the yeast bring nutritionally, and what does it do to the taste?
Thank you,
Jenn
Hi Jenn! It gives the soup a cheesy flavor 🙂
