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!

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.
Iosune says
Hi Linda! Hope you like th soup 🙂

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!
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe and the video! I am a huge fan of your blog and have made quite a few recipes. All of them were just great in taste and really easy to cook. Thank you, thank you, thank you <3

Orly says
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!
Iosune says
Hi Orly! I'm so glad you liked it! Udon noodles are great and so delicious 🙂 Have a nice day!
omid habibi says
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?
Iosune says
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!
Marissa Perez-Garcia says
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.
Iosune says
Hi Marissa! I'm so glad you liked it! Hope your husband is better 🙂
Fred Zweig says
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
Iosune says
Hi Fred! I love starches, I eat them all the time. Thanks a lot for the amazing idea!
