Notes
- I use lots of beets and radishes to make this soup. If you are new to these ingredients, use less.
- This detox soup can be made in advance. Store it in an air-tight container and keep it in your fridge. However, do not leave it for longer than a day, as the enzymes and vitamins will start degrading.
- Keep in mind that this soup is an a idea, customize it by adding more veggies or substitute some.
