Note:
You can alternate the vegetables that you use in this recipe. Sometimes I use carrots or any other orange colored vegetable, also you can add mushrooms or beats or even purple cabbage if you like!
I like to roast the vegetables first so it gives them a nice sweet flavor and enhances the taste.
Roast vegetables at 400° for about 30 minutes prior to adding to soup.
Why It Works:
• Lentils: will provide your body will the needed amino
acids so that it can detox properly.
• Cauliflower: is a cruciferous vegetable which means it
is rich in sulfur compounds. These compounds are amazing for protecting the body from cancer as well as aiding in efficient liver detox.
• Turmeric root: contains a compound called curcumin which helps to slow down phase one liver detox, and stimulate phase two. This is a good thing because for most people phase two liver detox can be sluggish and this can lead to poor detoxification.
•Coconut oil: anti infection and anti inflammatory properties make this great for killing germs and increasing energy in the body, very healing to the gut.
• The apple cider vinegar: will help to cleanse your whole system including your liver, gallbladder and digestive system.
