Snatched Body Detox Soup

Ingredients

• 1 sweet potato medium, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

• 3 carrots large, peeled and sliced

• 1 celery stalk diced

• 1 yellow onion small, diced

• 1 garlic clove minced

• pinch of kosher or sea salt more or less to taste

• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

• 1/8 teaspoon allspice

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• 1 bay leaf

• 30 ounces navy beans cans, drained and rinsed (optional black beans)

• 4 cups vegetable broth low-sodium

• 14 1/2 ounces diced tomatoes can, no salt added, *this is an optional ingredient

• 4 cups baby spinach loosely packed (optional 2 zucchini, sliced)

• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil optional, for serving (1/2 teaspoon per serving)

Instructions

• Add all ingredients, except spinach and olive oil, to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low 6 to 8 hours, or until the vegetables are tender. Add spinach, stir and continue cooking just until wilted, approximately 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy! (1 serving per night if doing the 3 Day Cleanse & Detox)
  

• Tip: If you prefer a thicker soup, after 5 hours of cooking, simply remove 1 cup of soup, along with ingredients, mash ingredients with a fork, return to the slow cooker, stir and continue cooking 1 to 3 hours. When serving, drizzle a little (optional) olive oil over each bowl of soup.
  

• Note: Olive oil helps the body absorb nutrients more efficiently and supports a healthy digestive system.
  

• Stovetop Method: Follow the same instructions above for prep, cover, and simmer until veggies are tender, approximately 2 hours. Stir every 15 minutes to prevent sticking. Add spinach at the end of cooking time, remove from heat, cover and allow spinach to wilt before serving.
