Detox Beet Soup is the perfect remedy for when you feel like you might be coming down with a cold or just wanting to detox from unhealthy foods. This soup is a great way to kickstart a dietary reset.
I seldom ate beets when I was following an omnivorous diet. On the rare occasion, I did eat them, I would toss the beet greens in the trash, not knowing I could eat them (face palm!).
I first learned of this soup from The Plantpower Way cookbook. I modified it to omit the oil. This Detox Beet Soup uses the whole beet with tops, therefore, cutting down on food waste. I appreciate how it makes me feel after eating it—nourished and satisfied.
Detox Beet Soup has 6 key ingredients:
- Beets
- Celery
- Lime
- Garlic
- Apple cider vinegar
- Cilantro
Beets and beet greens are rich in heart-healthy nitric oxide producing compounds shown to improve blood flow. As an added benefit, and if weight loss is a goal, consider eating low-fat, nutrient-dense broth-based soups before your main course. Studies show that a brothy soup may promote weight loss by reducing the total caloric intake for that meal while leaving you feeling satisfied.
