{NEW} Quick & Simple Skinny Detox Soup { Our “detox” “skinny veggie” and newer cabbage soups have been SO incredibly popular with our readers and within our groups throughout 2018; many of you emailing requesting more soups of this variety.
Each of these soups are incredibly flavorful, simple, and packed to the brim with all the good stuff we need.
I’m not going to tell you to eat this soup alone for weeks at a time. Not at all.
I will say that when we prep ahead a large pot of vegetable packed soup for our week ahead, we are SO much more likely to get more veggies in each day…simply because its convenient.
Soups are very filling and satisfying.
The large quantity of vegetables in these soups can help release water weight from previous heavier meals.
Many of these vegetables are wonderful for reducing inflammation, especially when eaten regularly, and in place of more processed, carbohydrate heavy-meals.
Exchange one bowl of this soup for one of your typical “heavier” meals each day for a week, and see what happens!
