Lifes all about balance. If you need a delicious cleanse this holiday weekend try out this detoxifying soup. Ingredients: 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 cloves of garlic, chopped 2 tablespoons diced onion 1 inch of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped 4 cups fresh broccoli, cut up 1/2 pound of fresh spinach leaves 3 parsnips, peeled, cored, chopped 2 ribs of celery, trimmed, chopped A handful of fresh parsley, roughly chopped Fresh water, as needed Sea salt and ground pepper, to taste Lemon or lime juice Instructions: 1. Using a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and stir in the garlic, onion, and ginger to season the oil. Add the broccoli, spinach, parsnips, celery and parsley, and stir a bit until the spinach wilts and collapses. Add just enough water to cover the vegetables. Remember the spinach will cook down quite a bit, so dont add too much water at first. You can always thin the soup later, if you need to. 2.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. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup. Taste test. Does it need brightening? Add a squeeze of citrus. Options: To make this a creamy (and still non-dairy) soup add a good dash of light coconut milk.
