An Alkalizing Green Soup to Help You Detox
Green soup is the perfect cleansing food for January after a holiday season of indulgences.
This gorgeous, healing detox soup recipe comes from the brilliant recipe creator and photographer Heidi Swanson.
Anna Thomas, the author of Love Soup, is the creator of the original green soup — a basic, flavorful green elixir you can use as a template to create your own version, using kale, collard greens, chard, spinach, or whatever leafy greens you have on hand.
Be sure to rinse/wash all your greens well prior to using. You can
make a chunky, alternative version of this soup by adding the split peas
after pureeing the rest of the ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked split green peas
- 2 ounces (2 handfuls) spinach, de-stemmed
- 1 large celery stalk
- 1 ounce parsley leaves (1 handful)
- 1 ounce cilantro leaves (1 handful)
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tablespoon miso
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons coconut cream*
- 2 1/2 cups water
- Toppings: any/all of the following: shaved watermelon radish (I like to soak in salt water), toasted almonds, celery &/or cilantro leaves
Instructions
-
Combine the split peas, spinach, celery, parsley, cilantro, garlic, miso, nutritional yeast, 1 tablespoon of the coconut cream, and the water. Puree until silky smooth. Transfer to a medium saucepan, and (if desired) heat gently until hot but not simmering. Taste, and adjust with a bit of salt or more miso, if needed.
-
Serve topped with a drizzle of the remaining cream, and whatever toppings you have on hand.
Notes
*I use the thick coconut cream from the top of a can of full-fat coconut milk.
