It’s Day 19 and I am about to start doing my happy dance…!
I think this experience has been mind altering…lol..for sure, stomach altering.
The best part about the detox is that I stuck too it! I didn’t quit even when I wanted to throw my juicer out the window!
Yep, I got a little tired of drinking juice…but once I started adding cooked veggie based meals, I saw the light…the food light!
Today, I am sharing with you my Tuscan Tomato Soup, which is the easiest soup recipe around!
If you have tomatoes, onion, and garlic, you can make this soup! I added a little broth and half and half…if you don’t want dairy, omit the half and half and increase the broth.
It’s simple, flavorful and goes perfectly with a grilled cheese sandwich!
