Green Machine Detox Soup

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 tbsp onion, diced
  • 1 inch cube of ginger, peeled and chopped
  • 2 cups of broccoli, chopped
  • 1/2 cup of fresh spinach leaves
  • 2 celery sticks, trimmed and chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 dash of fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • Fresh water, as needed
  • Sea salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions

  • Using a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat
  • Stir in garlic, onion, and ginger to season the oil
  • Add broccoli, spinach, celery, and parsley
  • Stir ingredients until the spinach wilts and collapses
  • Add just enough fresh water to cover the vegetables (remember the spinach will cook down quite a bit, so don’t add too much water at first)
  • Bring to a high simmer, cover the pot, and reduce the heat to a medium simmer
  • Cook for fifteen minutes or so until the veggies are softened
  • Once softened, pour ingredients into blender and puree the soup
  • Pour into bowl and serve!
