Cleansing Detox Soup

Healthy Recipes - This oil-free Cleansing Detox Soup is packed with all the good stuff, and by good stuff I mean immune-boosting natural remedies like fresh lemon juice, fresh zingy ginger, bright turmeric, balancing cinnamon, and a touch of spicy cayenne.

Detoxifying vegetables and leafy greens like kale, broccoli, celery and carrots will cleanse, nourish and make you feel whole. I carefully chose each ingredient based on it’s healing properties and am sticking to oil free recipes all of January. You especially want to avoid cooking with oils in a cleansing and detoxifying recipe to allow the detoxification process to properly take place.

You’ll Need:

• 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)

1. In a large pot, add the water and turn on the heat to medium-high. After it's hot, add the onion and garlic.
