It’s hard to believe how many ingredients are in this blended soup but my goodness do they work great with each other and leave you feel cleansed.
Serves: 4 to 6
INGREDIENTS
- 1 head lettuce, 1 bunch of spinach, or other fresh greens of choice

- 1 cucumber, peeled and cut into chunks

- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric (optional)
- 1 clove garlic (optional)
- 2–4 cups veggie or chicken broth (or water)

INSTRUCTIONS
- Place all ingredients in a blender. It works a little better if you place the larger items first, followed by the greens, then pour the liquids and seasonings on top. Blend.
