Cabbage & Barley Soup

4/1/2020

0 Comments

 
This soup is brimming with cabbage ribbons, fresh herbs, barley and beans. It is a nourishing soup that hits all the right notes. I used to call this my stormy day soup because I'd want a big warm bowl of this while cuddled up on the couch as I watch the rain pour down. But lately it hasn't been raining, and I still find myself craving this.

Cabbage is super vegetable which supports detoxification! It is high in glutathione (which is crucial for our body's daily detoxification functions) and L-Glutamine (which boosts immune cell activity in the gut).
