I saw this soup on the glowing fridge.com and knew it would be perfect for breaking fast time.
I tweaked it a bit and invite you to do the same
After all its just a set of guideline 🙂
I love vegetables and get annoying if I don’t eat any vegetables 🙂
Soups are a gently way to ease the body into food after a long day of fasting. This wonderful way of cooking an oil free soup is nutritionally enhanced by serving with olive oil and apple cidar vinegar. Olive oil is a good lubricant for the whole system and helps keep the skin looking young and moist.
Lemon juice is also another dressing but apple cidar vinegar has additional health benefits we have covered before and it adds another taste dimension.
This recipe was inspired by    http://www.theglowingfridge.com/cleansing-detox-soup/
but given a Karimah twist.

It looks like loads of ingredients but they are mostly veggies
