This delicious one-pot Detox Soup is chock full of vegetables, leafy greens, and chicken for protein. It’s healthy and doesn’t skip on flavor. The soup delivers a smack of umami with ginger, turmeric, and tamari. It is made bright with lemon juice and fresh with cilantro. But the secret ingredient here is coconut milk, which is layered into the soup to thicken it and add creaminess. At 216 calories per serving, it’s a filling and low-calorie meal.
The recipe is highly customizable – sub turkey breasts for the chicken; use white beans and tofu for a vegan version; add whichever vegetables you like and swap out the Swiss chard with kale or spinach. You can leave out the coconut milk and use more vegetable broth. Anyway, it’s delicious and a keeper in my kitchen.
To make the Detox Soup, you will need the following ingredients:
In a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons olive or avocado oil and add 1 chopped onion, 2 chopped carrots, and 2 thinly sliced stalks celery. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add 5 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger, 2 teaspoons ground turmeric, ¼ teaspoon cayenne, 1 teaspoon sea salt and ½ teaspoon ground black pepper. Sauté, stirring, for 1 minute.
Add 1 thinly sliced bell pepper, 6 cups vegetable broth, 1 can coconut milk, and 1 pound chicken breasts to the pot.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cover. Simmer for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Once the chicken is tender, remove it from the pot and shred using two forks.
In the meantime, add 1 bunch chopped Swiss chard and simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until the chard starts to wilt.
Carefully place the shredded chicken back into the pot and stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon tamari, and ¼ cup fresh cilantro.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh chopped cilantro, and serve.
