Detox Soup

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:

Steps to make Detox Soup

1	Sauté onions, carrots, and celery	5
