Sweet Thang Soup with Mint

I am working diligently on NOT adding overt fats.  Detox goes better and faster.  Fruit is the powerhouse of cleansers and oranges appears to be at the top rung.  Grapes and apples are in season so thought I would try something with them.  All this goes in a food processor.  Can cut up apple and grapes also.  Just don't put grapes and apples in processor at same time.  They chop up at different rates...learned the hard way.

Ingredients:

large handful of grapes
1 med. apple, cut into slices
2 oranges, juiced
4 small mint leaves

Chop grapes in food processor*.  Process apples with mint in processor*.  Do the apples and grapes separately because they chop up at different rates.  Put in bowl and pour freshly squeezed o.j. over it.  Voila!  Soup improves as you eat it and the juice marinates the apples and grapes and they add their flavors to the "broth."   Can also put some of juice and fruit into processor and chop up further to make for a thick "stew." 

*Feel free to dice up apples and cut grapes into slices if don't have food processor.
