Notes & Tips
- You can use pre-spiralized zucchini for ease.
- For extra protein, add poached chicken or a spoonful of hemp seeds before serving.
- Avoid overcooking the zucchini noodles — they soften quickly.
- If you're sensitive to onion or garlic, swap them for the green part of spring onion or use garlic-infused oil.
- This soup pairs well with the Yeastrix Candida Cleanse as it includes anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory herbs like turmeric and ginger.
