CREAMY GARLIC MEXICAN SOUP

Garlic has been used as medicine throughout ancient and modern history. Garlic contains antioxidants that protect against cell damage and aging. It is also naturally high in inulin, the type of functional fiber we mentioned above. It is a known prebiotic that feeds the good bacteria in your digestive system, helping create a healthy gut. Oh, and it is delicious 😋. The addition of Greek yogurt provides quite your nutritional bang.
