Green Detox Soup
For those of you who spent the weekend indulging – whether it was too much wine, chips or dessert – this healthy green soup for you! Way better than sipping a green juice, because it’s in the form of a soup that will also keep you satiated.
I’ve been traveling so much for work lately, with book signings and conferences, etc so I really love a good reset meal! I am not a juice cleanse type of girl, but a healthy green soup? I am all over it!
This detox soup is from Liz Moody’s new cookbook Healthier Together, a healthy cookbook designed for two, but if you’re cooking for 4 you can double it! I don’t typically detox, but I do love a healthy green soup, and when I polled my audience on Instagram, asking which recipe from her cookbook I should try, this is the recipe they wanted me to share. It has one of the most powerful members of the cruciferous family – kale, cilantro and parsley, both left in their raw form, for an abundance of chlorophyll and digestion-aiding enzymes, and lots of garlic, left mostly raw, a powerful immune booster with antibacterial and antiviral properties. Lemons also assist in liver function, and help, along with the copious amount of fiber in the soup, to de bloat and get your digestive tract moving.
