I’m sharing my favorite daily detox recipe for vegetable soup.
Hello friends! how are you I hope you’ve had a great morning so far. The pilot is off work today (!) so I’m looking forward to a morning hike and breakfast and coffee date. (You know, even though both kids go to school. I feel like every time one of us takes the day off, one kid stays home sick lol.)
While Tucson is still warm and toasty, it’s official soup season. TBH, for me, the whole year is super season. It can be a blistering 115 outside, and I’m still inside eating a scalding bowl of soup. I love soup, especially for lunches, because you can make a ton of advane and pack in a ton of nutrients. You can customize them depending on what you have on hand, add extra protein (like an egg on top or shredded beef or chicken) and it’s one of my 3: salad, soup or smoothie every day.
Detox Recipe for Vegetable Soup
I’m also a fan of making *detox soups.* I call it that because they’re light and easy to digest, but they also go with my favorites Detox Requirements Dr. Cabral. The soups are mine EquiLife Detox Resourcesfor the reasons I mentioned above. I also call it that for The Man aka Google, so if you searched for “detox soup recipes” and found this page, YAY and welcome to the blog 😉
This recipe is super simple, made in the Instant Pot, and perfect for meal prep or a hot, nutrient-dense lunch or dinner.
The benefits of Detox Vegetable Soup
Packed with nutrients:
Sweet potatoes, zucchini and peppers provide vitamins A, C and antioxidants to support your immune system.
Rich in fiber:
Beans like garbanzo and kidney beans promote digestive health and can aid in detoxification by improving bowel function.
Hydration:
Vegetable broth is hydrating, which is essential for detoxification functions.
Supports weight loss:
Soups can be lower in calories but also filling, which can improve satiety and reduce cravings.
Anti-inflammatory:
Herbs like thyme, rosemary and oregano have anti-inflammatory properties and make it delicious too.
Meal prep tips
Batch cooking:
This soup freezes well! Make a big batch and store portions in the freezer for quick meals during the week. (I love these super cubes!)
Top ideas:
Prepare your toppings (avocado, herbs and lemon juice) ahead of time and store them separately for easy assembly when serving.
Versatility:
Swap the beans for your preferred legume, or use other vegetables like spinach or green beans, depending on what you have on hand.

Notes
Ways to enjoy this soup:
Lunch or Dinner: Enjoy this soup as a light meal or as part of a larger dinner with a side salad.
Post-workout: Ideal for a post-workout recovery meal due to its blend of carbohydrates, protein and anti-inflammatory properties.
Serve with whole grains: For a more filling meal, pair the soup with quinoa, brown rice, or a slice of gluten-free bread. I like this with a slice of Pacha bread with butter and sea salt.
