Creamy detox soup

During the pandemic, and just in everyday life, it is very important to take care of your health. Today I am going to share with you a recipe for one “detox soup”.

Why it is good for your health?

-As detox soups are usually vegetable-based, they help the person to feel fuller and to consume fewer calories throughout the day, so this soup will be useful if you want to keep a good shape.

-Also, one of the advantages of such soups is the presence of vegetable fiber because it supports the microflora in our intestines and thus strengthens the immune system.

-Fiber also plays a core role in removing toxins from the body.
