Immunity Boosting Green Soup

The fresh herbs are really what made this soup taste so fresh and healthy.  It seems like a lot of dill and parsley but it makes the flavor really special! If you leave out the F-Factor 20/20 Unflavored Powder, this soup is a F-Factor Free Food. Eat it whenever you want to fill up on vitamins and nutrients. If you add the powder, you can treat this soup as a meal.
