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!

Karen says
The recipe seemed too simple and I was doubtful whether it would really be tasty. But as soon as I tasted, I wanted to write "Excellent" on the printed recipe and make it a regular in my diet. It's fantastic! Thank you!

I had a tickle in my throat and stuffy nose a couple of days ago and was worried I might be getting sick. I started looking up green soup recipes when I got home from work and decided to make this one. I had everything on hand except the leek, so I just omitted that. I used three or four huge handfuls of spinach/kale mixture because I wanted to up the greens. I added an extra cup of veggie broth since I added so many greens. It was super easy and fast to make! It was also really delicious and made a ton! I’ve been eating it for lunch the last two days, too. I’m not sure if the soup was part of the reason, but I did not get sick after all. I’ll save this recipe and use it a lot in the future. Thanks!
Iosune says
Hi Susie! I'm so happy to hear that 🙂 So glad you liked it!

I stumbled on your beautiful recipe for boasting immune system. I like it and it makes sense but I would like to know the substitute for coconut milk as I am allergic to coconut and almond milk. Could I use rice milk instead. Or just water.
Iosune says
Hi Ifeoma! Any plant milk will do 🙂
Kseniya Sanders says
Wow! Immune boosting green soup is a great idea when it is cold outside. Know from my own experience that the immune system is weakened in winter. Eating this soup you won't catch a cold. At the same time, it is good for vegetarians, like me. Planning to cook this soup as soon as possible. Question: is it helpful for losing weight?
Iosune says
Hi Kseniya! It could be, as long as you're following a healthy diet 🙂
Paul Tee says
Made this soup for especially for my wife, she loved it and so did I, Fantastic flavour. The second time I made it I added some celery that needed using up, this didn't alter the flavour just added a little more texture. I found the nutritional yeast in Holland & Barrets only £2-99. I think this really helped the flavour
Iosune says
Hi Paul! So glad your wife and you enjoyed it 🙂
Jenn says
Hey Iosune,
What does the yeast bring nutritionally, and what does it do to the taste?
Thank you,
Jenn
Iosune says
Hi Jenn! It gives the soup a cheesy flavor 🙂
Richie says
High in B12 too as well as that nice cheesy flavour
Kerry Edwards says
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
Iosune says
Hi Kerry! I'm so glad you liked it so much 🙂 Have a nice day!
gretchen says
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!
Iosune says
Hi Gretchen! Thanks a lot 🙂 Sounds amazing!
Hannah says
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!
Iosune says
Hi Hannah! Thanks a lot, so glad you liked it! Have a nice day 😀
Robin says
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!
Iosune says
Hi Robin! So glad you liked it 🙂 No, I haven't, but I think it should work. Have a nice day!
