This soup is so simple and its packed with gut- loving ingredients! In my opinion, this soup also has so many healing components for gallbladder and liver health as well. Zucchini is such a versatile vegetable. Studies have shown zucchini help protect hydration and nutrient profile is equal to radishes, leeks and pumpkins in the prevention of cell mutation. Kale, onion and watercress are considered powerhouse vegetables for gallbladder + liver health. These vegetables are an excellent source of b vitamins, vitamin c, and vitamin e. They also contain sulfur rich properties. Sulfur containing foods help support liver detoxification. All healing nutrients for the gallbladder and liver, so lets start healing!
