We all need a reboot every now and then so why not kickstart your clean eating this season with this Fall Detox Vegetable Soup? Made with 9 different vegetables, this soup will help you glow inside and out!
If you want a good laugh, check out the comments on my Vegetable Detox Soup. Admittedly, I should not be laughing because I’m pretty sure the comments were written in full-seriousness, but I don’t take myself too seriously so judge all you want for me being “that girl”.
While I truly wish I could fulfill your dream of knowing the calorie count on VEGETABLE SOUP, I honestly believe there are more important things in the world than knowing the total energy value on a soup made up entirely of plants. As for the comment on how much soup you need to eat to feel the full detoxing effects? The correct answer would be 9 times a day.
What is this Fall Detox Soup?
I have no idea how much vegetable soup you need to “feel detoxed”. In fact I don’t think anyone could truly define what detoxing really means. But in my world it’s pumping your body full of natural food from the earth. If juicing does it for you, dream big my friends but I prefer to eat my food so when I feel like I need a good detox, I turn to soup.
By now you all know that I love my wine and am not opposed to indulging or relaxing when life throws you curveballs, but that doesn’t mean that after a couple days of YOLOing I don’t feel sluggish or puffy. It’s in these cases that I turn to soup. Though I do stand by the occasional green juice!
I was thrilled when the Detox Vegetable Soup I posted in January was such a huge hit! Yes, it came with some strange questions but it’s also become one of my more popular posts. I consider soup to be the underdog to salad so I am always pretty stoked when you guys jump on board the soup train with me.
As for it’s detoxing effects? I HAVE NO IDEA! Will it transform your body overnight? Probably not. But it’s packed-full of veggies, including NINE different varieties. If that doesn’t make you feel awesome, I don’t know what will! P.S. The Mayo Clinic has a great article on Detox Diets and if they really work.
