RECIPE NOTE
*I like to chop up some heated corned beef or off-the-bone ham (just from the deli) and top each bowl with about 1/4-1/2 cup.
*Then, for garnish, finely shred raw brussel sprouts & add some micro greens, but before topping the soup with greens, lightly drizzle greens with olive oil and garlic salt. Then place greens on top and enjoy!
