Super Immune Boosting Soup

I love this silky puréed soup during the colder winter months. I make this soup at the first sign of a cold as it is packed with immune boosting nutrients. This green soup is full of Iron, Vitamin C, B, Copper, and Calcium. The garlic can reduce the symptoms of a cold and ginger brings down inflammation in the body. This makes about 6-8 servings, so half of it can easily be frozen in mason jars.

INGREDIENTS 

• 3 cups bone broth (vegetable broth can be used for vegans)
• 2 cups water
• 3 cups broccoli florets
• 3 cups spinach

DIRECTIONS

• STEP 1. Bring the vegetable broth and water to a boil.
