Detox Vegetable Soup
Description
Detox Vegetable Soup features a blend of hearty root vegetables like carrots, Yukon gold potatoes, and sweet potatoes combined with aromatics such as diced onion and minced garlic. Tomatoes and vegetable broth provide a flavorful base alongside herbs like thyme, parsley, and basil. Optional ingredients such as zucchini and green beans add variety in texture and color.
The soup is slowly cooked, allowing the vegetables to soften and flavors to meld into a balanced, mildly spiced broth with a touch of heat from red chili flakes. It offers a filling yet light experience with both starch and fresh vegetable components.
This soup works well as a vegetarian main or starter, optionally topped with grated Parmesan cheese for added depth. It can be enjoyed warm and pairs well with crusty bread for a more substantial meal.
You may add canned beans to increase protein and fiber content without altering the core vegetable flavor.
