Ingredients
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 stalks celery, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
2 cups packed kale, stems removed
1 cup fresh spinach
4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Step 1: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and celery, sautéing for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Step 2: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 60 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Step 3: Add the broccoli florets and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Step 4: Add the kale and spinach to the pot, pressing them down into the liquid. Simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes until the greens are tender but still bright green.
Step 5: Remove the pot from the heat. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer to a stand blender in batches.
Step 6: Stir in the fresh lemon juice, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 7: Ladle the green detox soup recipe into bowls and garnish with extra herbs or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Notes
To make it creamier, blend in half an avocado. For extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
