Detox All-Veggie Soup

If you are doing a fruit and veg detox (which is a great idea 2-3 times a year), this recipe can pull you through. It's mostly prep work but worth the chopping.

Ingredients:

• 2 cartons vegetable broth
• 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
• 5 carrots, peeled and chopped
• 2 pieces of celery, chopped
• 1 onion, peeled and chopped
• 2 large cans of diced tomatoes OR 6 medium fresh tomatoes diced
• 1 container of mushrooms, sliced
• 1 zucchini, cubed
• 1 yellow squash, cubed
• 1 Tbsp basil
• Sea Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Place broth in a large pot with garlic, carrots, celery, and onion. Bring to boil and let cook for 10 minutes until vegetables soften.  
2.  Lower the temperature to simmer.  Add the tomatoes, mushrooms, zucchini and squash. 
3.  Season with basil, sea salt, and pepper. Cook for 20-30 minutes.
4. Serve and enjoy!

And if you aren't detoxing and want to add chicken or beef, that's still a great healthy option!
