Layering fresh, crisp baby spinach leaves on top adds a beautiful pop of color and vital nutrients, reminding you that wellness can also be a feast for the eyes.

Brighten your healing harmony by pairing your soup with a side of organic gluten-free crackers or a light salad of cucumber, mint leaves, and lemon juice for a refreshing contrast.
