Bowl of Power Greens soup with mushroom and herb garnishes

Soups and Stews Packed with Nutrients

Wouldn’t it be great if the food we ate gave us superpowers? Although greens won’t give you superpowers in the traditional sense, they boost heart health, digestion, and strong vision, and have even been shown to reduce the risk of some cancers. When you think of leafy greens, you might envision a crispy salad, but greens are also delicious in soup. This recipe is yummy when prepared with Brussels sprouts, or you can substitute finely shredded cabbage or kale. The rich broth complements the greens nicely.
