Savory Kale & Mushroom Soup

A savory kale & mushroom soup is a delicious way to jump start your anti-inflammatory eating style. After all, it’s daily lifestyle choices that matter, right?

When these items, which contain minimal nutrients to feed the cells and give us energy is promoted as “food” it’s a shame. Since the majority of ingredients are chemicals, it makes sense to “detox” from chemicals and focus on real food from the garden to restore and repair cells. (1)
