Description

Ingredients

• 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1 cubes
• 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
• 1 stalk celery, diced
• 1 small yellow onion, diced
• 1 clove garlic, 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
• 2 (15 ounce) cans navy beans, drained and rinsed (optional, black beans)
• 4 cups vegetable broth, low-sodium
• 1 (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes (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)

Directions

• 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 hour. 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.
