Easy Detox Soup Recipe Highlights
Does the word detox make you anxious? It does to me! Well, at least it did in the past. I promise it’s not as difficult as it sounds, especially when you get to eat this delicious Easy Instant Pot Detox Soup. Last year, my oldest daughter Andrea invited me to join her in a 3-day detox program. I cannot lie…I was super nervous. Although the soup that we had to eat at that opportunity was not very good, everything went well. We finished the program, and we felt great. So this year, when my daughter proposed to me to do it again, I knew that I had to improve the soup recipe. Please meet my delicious, comforting, flavorful, and healthy Easy Instant Pot Detox Soup! This soup will be perfect for getting back on track any time you need it.
My 7-Days Personal Detox Plan
There are many detox programs out there, and you should use whatever you feel comfortable with. I need to clarify that I am not a medical professional, so this information is not intended to claim health benefits. This is just what my oldest daughter and I do the first days of the year to reset and start fresh. Day 1 – 3: We eat this soup alone for 3 days. Day 4 – 6: After 3 days, we introduce green salads with raw nuts in the evenings for 2 more days. Day 5 – 7: We add salmon, or any other available fish, to our dinner. After day 7, we go back to eating normally. I don’t believe in diets, but I do love to cook in a healthy…ish way, substituting products for a good-for-you version when possible. Water is one of the most essential cleaning agents for your body, so we drink lots of water per way. I have this 64-oz water bottle to keep track of my water intake.

Some people will be more likely to be affected by these spices than others, depending on numerous factors, so try them in small amounts before trying to add more.
Crockpot Version
You can make this soup in the crockpot, but be sure to sauté the veggies, chicken, and spices on the stovetop, before adding to the crock. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Then add the broccoli and kale at the end and cook until tender.
Storing & Freezing Instructions
Store the soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze it for up to 6 months. VEGETARIAN. You could easily make this vegetarian by using white beans or another vegetarian protein in place of the chicken. 1 cup dry green or brown lentils is a good option. In that case, make sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly. BROTH. When I make this soup, I like to use bone broth because it is rich in nutrients, but you can use regular chicken broth or vegetable broth for a vegetarian soup. ORGANIC INGREDIENTS. For best results, use all organic ingredients if possible.
