Surprisingly, unlike other detox soups I’ve had, this soup is comforting and tastes great!All of the ingredients for this flush the fat away vegetable soup were specifically chosen for their ability to work together to get your body in tip-top shape. It’s basically a super-food soup packed with antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Together, they aid in flushing toxins away from your body, making it a powerful tool if you’re following a detox plan. And, while it flushes those toxins, it also takes the fat with it. You’ll love the flavors of the sweet potato, spinach, garlic, carrots, and tomatoes but we didn’t just add them in there for the way they taste. What these ingredients are doing is restoring acid-alkaline and sodium-potassium balance in the body’s organs and glands.

The end result is the perfect combination of adding nutrients and removing fat.It’s a bonus that these super-food ingredients come together to make a really comforting treat. As I said earlier, I’ve had some detox soups that really don’t taste all that great. I actually find myself making this soup even when I’m not planning to detox just because it tastes so good!The beans and the sweet potatoes are nice and soft, adding sweet and earthy tones to the broth. Then, the spinach comes in with a green burst of flavor and adds a nice counterbalancing texture. Finally, the tomatoes (if you’re using them) add body to the broth and amp up the savory flavors overall.
This comforting soup is loaded with nutrient-rich ingredients that will detoxify and satisfy your body!
