This vibrant green soup combines an array of health-boosting ingredients to create a detoxifying experience like no other. At the heart of this soup is the creamy, green goodness of avocados. Known for their rich texture and high nutrient content, avocados provide healthy monounsaturated fats that support heart health and are an excellent source of fiber. Leeks add a mild, sweet onion flavor to the soup, while cilantro’s bright, citrusy notes offer a burst of freshness. Pumfu, a tofu alternative made from pumpkin seeds, adds plant-powered protein to the soup, making it a satisfying and nutritious choice. Zucchini contributes a fresh, crisp texture that complements the creaminess of avocado, creating a delightful balance in every spoonful.
