Autumn Detox Soup Recipe by Dr. Daryl

Typically, on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, I share a recipe you can incorporate into your feast on Thursday. [You’ll find roundups of those recipes here and here.]

But today, I’m sharing a recipe to make the next day – when you’re recovering from a big, acidic meal on Thanksgiving or any day.

This soup will help your body detox from the acidic, inflammatory foods you’ve eaten because it contains 6 of the most powerful detoxifying foods you can eat: carrots, broccoli, garlic, ginger, turmeric, black pepper, and cilantro. Plus, it will rehydrate you and deliver healthy mineral salts.

It’s also hot, cozy, and delicious – perfect for a chilly fall day spent at home.
