Detox Soup

When you feel like your body is filled with toxic sludge, make a soup out of these premiere detox foods! The recipe takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish and the taste is beyond delish. 

Serves two

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 1 shallot, roughly diced
• 1 head broccoli, chopped small (about ⅔ pound)
• 2 ½ cups water
• ¼ teaspoon sea or kosher salt
• 1 cup fresh arugula
• 1 inch piece of ginger, grated
• ½ lemon

Directions:

1. In a medium stock pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.  Add the shallots and sauté for about two minutes, then, add garlic and sauté another minute.
2. Add broccoli, arugula, and ginger and sauté about 4 minutes.
3. Add water and salt. Bring to a boil. Once soup boils, reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Cook for 8 minutes (until broccoli is tender).
4. Remove soup from heat and ladle the mixture into a blender (work slowly and in batches - don't fill the blender more than ¾ full and realize it is HOT!), puree and return to pot.
5. Ladle into bowls and squeeze a wedge of fresh lemon over the top. Enjoy!
