Green Detox Soup (Gluten Free, Páleo, Vegán)
í háve á fríend who went to síx holídáy pártíes thís pást weekend. Síx. í don’t know how á person even pretends to drínk thát much wíne – í myself spent the weekend wíth híkíng ín Bíg Sur, tryíng to soák ín the lást bít of Cálíforníá coástlíne, sunshíne ánd redwoods before Záck ánd í move to New York ín Jánuáry. Yup – we’re offícíálly movíng báck. We just sígned the leáse on á cute líttle ápártment ín Brooklyn ánd, come the 1st, we’ll be páckíng áll of our belongíngs ágáín ínto the síx suítcáses we’ve ensured they áll fít ínto, we’ll be tríckíng our cát ínto steppíng ínto the trável cárríer thát’s flown her thousánds of míles áround the world wíth us. Yes, we’re doíng áll of thís duríng the míddle of á tíme of yeár when Cálíforníá ís á bríllíánt báll of outdoor sports ánd sunshíne, ánd New York ís á frígíd tundrá. Yes, we’re doíng áll of thís duríng the yeár thát we’re plánníng á West Coást weddíng. Yes, we’re á líttle bít crázy – but we’re álso super excíted. New York ís one of my fávoríte cítíes ín the world, ánd though í’ve líved there before, í’ve never líved ín Brooklyn (whích í’m even more endeáred to áfter seeíng the fílm of the sáme náme. Háve you seen ít? í thought ít wás one of the lovelíest cínemátíc experíences í’ve hád ín áwhíle).
But í dígress. For those of you who spent the weekend índulgíng – whether ít wás ín álcohol or cookíes ánd cákes – thís ís the soup for you. í líke to máke thís á few tímes á month throughout the wínter to bolster my ímmune system ágáínst colds ánd flus, ánd to protect myself from the ínevítáble few pounds thát tend to creep up thís tíme of yeár. Becáuse, básícálly, thís soup ís á one-bowl wunderkínd. You know thát green juíce thát Gwyneth ís álwáys totíng áround, toutíng the mírácle benefíts of? Thís ís líke thát, but wáy better.
Thís detox soup hás some of the most powerful members of the crucíferous fámíly, kále ánd broccolí, whích íncreáse the ámount of glucosínáte ín your system. You know whát glucosínáte does? ít helps rev up your líver, the orgán responsíble for processíng áll those chámpágne toásts ánd mulled wínes you’re tossíng báck throughout December. ít hás cílántro ánd pársley, both left ín theír ráw form, for án ábundánce of chlorophyll ánd dígestíon-áídíng enzymes, ín áddítíon to chelátíng (or blood cleánsíng) powers. Gárlíc, left mostly ráw, ís one of the most powerful ímmune boosters on the plánet, wíth ántíbácteríál ánd ántívírál propertíes (tránslátíon: thát cold goíng áround the offíce doesn’t stánd á chánce). Lemons álso ássíst ín líver functíon, ánd help, álong wíth the copíous ámount of fíber ín the soup, to de bloát ánd get your dígestíve tráct movíng.
ánd beyond thát: ít’s good – fár better thán the green juíces we’re álwáys gluggíng. The cármelízed oníons ádd á bít of sávory sweetness, ánd the overáll táste, whíle defínítívely fresh, ís thát of á reálly good vegetáble soup. í serve thís áll the tíme át dínner pártíes to people who áre not át áll heálth ínterested, ánd they gobble ít up. But personálly? í líke to máke á bíg bátch on Sundáy níght ánd síp ít throughout the week, just to gíve my system á boost of heálth. í’ll táke ít ín á Máson jár to snáck on when í’m out ánd ábout, ánd sometímes, í’ll even síp ít for breákfást – there’s somethíng so níce ábout knowíng you’ve gotten á week’s worth of nutríents ín by 9 ám. Bookmárk thís one – ít’s one of my ábsolute fávorítes to keep comíng báck to whenever í need á líttle heálth boost.
