How to Make the Recipe
Making this detox vegetable soup is simple, refreshing, and incredibly rewarding. Start by preparing all your vegetables—slice the carrots, chop the celery, and dice the zucchini so they cook evenly. Heat a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil if you like, and begin by sautéing the minced garlic. This step releases its aroma and adds a deeper layer of flavor to the broth.
Next, add the harder vegetables first: the carrots, celery, and zucchini. These need a few minutes to soften. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Once they begin to turn slightly tender, pour in your vegetable broth. A low-sodium broth works best, allowing the natural flavors of the vegetables to shine through. Now, sprinkle in the turmeric and ginger—two powerful detoxifying spices known for their anti-inflammatory and cleansing benefits.
Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes. This allows the vegetables to soften fully and for the spices to meld beautifully with the broth. In the final stage, add the fresh spinach. It wilts quickly, so only 2–3 minutes of cooking is needed. Season with salt and pepper to suit your taste.
The result is a warm, nourishing bowl of vegetables and healing spices that tastes as good as it feels. Serve it immediately for the best experience or store it for a cleansing meal throughout the week.
