Ingredients:

  • 1 litre of meat stock / bone broth / vegetable stock or water with quality stock cubes like Marigold

  • 2 table spoons of refined coconut oil, ghee or olive oil

  • 2 celery stalks, roughly chopped

  • 350g of broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

  • 200 grams of spinach (fresh or frozen)

  • 130g of frozen peas

  • 1 onion

  • 1 clove of garlic

  • optional but lovely: fresh or dry dill, add after the soup has been cooked

    My favourite toppings: chopped hard boiled eggs, crumbled feta cheese, toasted seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds (you can use all of them together or either, depending on your preferences)

    You can increase your protein intake by adding 1 serving of hydrolysed collagen powder.

Method:

  1. Warm the fat in a pan.

  2. Add all vegetables and sauté until soft.

  3. Add stock and and cook on medium heat for 10 minutes.

  4. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. Blend

  6. Garnish with toppings or preference and enjoy

About the soup

This delicious ‘eat your greens soup’ focuses on both phases of liver detoxification and healthy bile flow, which require the following nutrients:

  • protein

  • fat

  • fibre

  • sulphur

  • B vitamins, especially folate

  • magnesium

The soup has it all. It is specifically good to support methylation (e.g. lowering homocysteine or clearing out excess oestrogens) and the skin. Great for children who don’t like green vegetables.
