Healthy Vegetable Detox Soup

Instructions
Sauté the Base:
Heat olive oil in a large pot. Add chopped onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes until translucent.

Add Garlic & Vegetables:
Stir in garlic, carrot, bell pepper, and cabbage. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add Broth & Seasoning:
Pour in vegetable broth. Add salt, pepper, turmeric, and paprika. Stir well.

Simmer:
Add broccoli, potato, and zucchini (if using). Cover the pot and simmer for 15–20 minutes until vegetables are tender but not mushy.

Finish:
Sprinkle chopped parsley or coriander before serving for a fresh aroma and taste.

Serving Suggestions

Serve hot with a slice of whole-grain bread or a bowl of brown rice.

Add a squeeze of lemon juice for extra freshness.

You can blend half the soup for a thicker, creamy texture.

Notes & Tips
Don’t overcook the veggies — they should stay bright and slightly crisp for maximum nutrition.

Add other vegetables like spinach, kale, or beans for variety.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for 1 month.

You can also add cooked chicken, tofu, or lentils for extra protein.
