This recipe was created while I was on a cleanse. I hadn’t been satisfied with the recipes I’d tried, and I needed something nutritious and vitamin-rich that was also devoid of gluten, soy, and dairy. This one was successful! This dish can be reheated and freezes nicely.

Reviews
I did not expect this to be a five-star soup with such humble ingredients, so I was pretty skeptical, but gosh, is this GOOD! Made it to have as a healthy side for grilled steaks, and I’m going to have to stop myself from eating it all before dinner! I had some fresh thyme in the fridge, so I used that instead, and I definitely recommend it!
I added Serrano pepper cause I like soups spicy! Including the seeds so it’s really hot.
Super easy and super good!
This was so delicious! Even my kids devoured it. Not very pretty but so very tasty! I added some shredded chicken I made in the instant pot with just chicken stock and cut up carrots. My son made garlic bread to go along with it, which made this meal feel complete. It definitely went away from the intent of being a detox soup but kept a family meal filling and healthy. We will be making this one again!
It might not be much to look at but it is SO yummy! Thank you for sharing. I made as is with no substitutions and I recommend you do the same!
Not quite sure about detox but this is healthy and flavorful. The thyme is a bit over whelming so I recommend using 1/4 teaspoon.
