It’s a great time of year to have a nutrient-dense vegetable broth on hand to support you in detoxification.  This delicious veggie broth is extremely healing, and is chock-full of antioxidants and nutrients.

VEGGIE DETOX BROTH

• 2 quarts filtered water
• 3 stalks celery
• 1 bunch of bok choy
• 1 large onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
• 3 carrots, chopped
• 1 small beet, peeled
• 6 small/medium potatoes, unpeeled
• 1⁄4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
• Pinch of sage
• Salt and pepper to taste

Wash all vegetables.  Do not peel the vegetables if they are organic (except for the beets). Coarsely chop all the vegetables and add herbs. Cover with water in a non- aluminum pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and allow to simmer, covered, until broth has a deep, rich flavor, about 20 minutes . Strain and drink hot or cold. For a heartier broth, remove 1⁄2 veggies, blend in blender or food processor, and return to soup.  Add salt and pepper to taste.
