Raw Green Soup

This raw green soup is very easy to make. It's almost like making a green smoothie, except it contains vegetables only. This soup is very hydrating, and full of nutrients with lots of vitamins, phytonutrients and minerals.

Notes

NOTE: You can use any fresh herbs and greens that you like or have available in your fridge to make this soup.
GARNISHING IDEAS: Sprinkle nutritional yeast on top, grind fresh black pepper on top, drizzle slightly with olive oil, sprinkle fresh herbs on top, arrange finely sliced cucumber slices on top.
TIP: Always role your citrus fruit (see video) before you cut it to extract it's juice. This will make it easy to get the most juice form it. 
Make vegetable broth using your vegetable scraps and off cuts. See recipe Vegetable Broth.
