Chickpea Noodle Soup

A healthy new twist on a warm and comforting classic, this delicious Chickpea Noodle Soup may become a regular in your home. Perfect for cool nights or anytime you’re seeking a big bowl of hot soup to soothe the soul. 

Onions: Antimicrobial sulfur compounds in onions expel unfriendly pathogens from the liver. Onions have a disinfecting quality for the liver, keeping it from becoming inflamed. They also improve the temperature control or “thermostat” of the liver so it can heat and cool itself properly.

Carrots: A quick liver refueling source of glucose that’s attached to minerals and vitamins. Carrots help to lower blood pressure, reduce edema, relax muscles, steady nerves, and balance cognitive function. 

Parsley: Contains an excellent bioavailable form of iron which helps to keep your blood strong and prevent anemia. Parsley is also rich in zinc which is highly beneficial for treating viral issues and strengthening the immune system.
