Cleansing Detox Soup INGREDIENTS 1/4 cup water (or vegetable broth) 1/2 of a red onion, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 3 celery stalks, diced 3 medium carrots, diced 1 small head of broccoli, florets 1 cup chopped tomatoes 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and minced 1 teaspoon turmeric (I used powdered) 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste (optional) fine-grain sea salt and black pepper, to taste 6 cups water (or 4 cups vegetable broth + 2 cups water) 2 cups kale, de-stemmed and torn in pieces 1 cup purple cabbage, chopped juice from 1/2 of a small lemon (or a whole lemon, depending how much lemon flavor you prefer) INSTRUCTIONS In a large pot, add the water and turn on the heat to medium-high. After its hot, add the onion and garlic. Sauté for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the celery, carrots, broccoli, tomatoes and fresh ginger. Stir and cook for 3 minutes, adding in extra water or broth as needed (another 1/4 cup). Stir in the turmeric, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper plus salt and pepper to taste. Add in the water or vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until vegetables are soft. Add in the kale, cabbage and lemon juice near the last 2-3 minutes of simmering. Enjoy! NOTES This cleansing recipe is oil-free because avoiding the use of oil during a cleansing meal is important for the detoxification process (and you wont miss the oil at all due to all the flavor!) but if you feel like cooking with oil, use a minimal amount - 1 tablespoon or less.
