Notes: Ok so this soup may not be award winning, but it is my go to soup when I feel like I need a little detox. Usually after Spring Break with the kids and I have not eaten my best. It actually is a delicious/easy way to get back on track. After eating this for lunch for a week I feel so much better. Also, I like to add chipotle Tabasco to my bowl before I devour it.
