Liver-Friendly Detox Soup

Ingredients:

• 1 large beetroot, peeled and diced
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
• 1 cup kale or spinach (high in antioxidants)
• 1 clove garlic, minced (anti-inflammatory)
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 lemon (for fresh juice)
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 cups vegetable broth (or water)
• 1 teaspoon turmeric (anti-inflammatory)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the vegetables:
   • Peel and dice the beetroot, carrots, and onions.
   • Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
2. Sauté the aromatics:
   • In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
   • Add the onions and garlic, sauté until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.
3. Add the vegetables:
   • Stir in the diced beetroot, carrots, ginger, and turmeric. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
4. Simmer:

5. Blend:
   • Use an immersion blender to blend the soup to your desired consistency. If you like it chunkier, blend just a little. For a smoother consistency, blend more thoroughly.
6. Season:
   • Add salt and pepper to taste, and squeeze in the juice of one lemon.
7. Serve:
   • Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy!
