Submitted by Anne Sainz

"This recipe is adapted from a recipe in “25 Delicious and Nutritious Vegetarian Soups” by Shelly Lynne. I have made some changes so it is more in keeping with a Nutritarian eating style..........For each can of low sodium broth, I substitute 2 cups water, 1 tablespoon VegiZest (from drfuhrman.com) and 1/8 teaspoon salt (optional)."
