Easy Detox Soup Recipe
Does the word detox make you anxious? It does to me! Well, at least it did in the past. I promise it’s not so difficult as it sounds, especially when you get to eat this delicious Easy Instant Pot Detox Soup.
Last year, my oldest daughter Andrea invite me to join her in a 3-day detox program. I cannot lie…I was super nervous. Although the soup that we had to eat in that opportunity was not very good, everything went well. We finished the program and we felt great.
So this year when my daughter proposed to me to do it again I knew that I had to do improve with the soup recipe.
Please meet my delicious, comforting, flavorful, and healthy Easy Instant Pot Detox Soup! This soup will be perfect for getting back on track any time you need it.
WHY THIS SOUP WILL HELP ME TO DETOX?
Let’s be clear…this soup is not magic! You can’t eat something and instantly “detox” your body, but you can increase the consumption of certain ingredients to naturally support your body’s detox organs. This Easy Instant Pot Detox Soup is packed with nutritious ingredients that can boost the body and help it get rid itself of toxins.
EASY DETOX SOUP KEY INGREDIENTS:
Turmeric contains curcumin, an anti-inflammatory agent, that will help the liver function properly, which will also help your body filter and expel toxins. Turmeric has strong anti-cancer properties that make it an absolute must for anyone.
Cumin possesses antioxidant, antiseptic, and laxative properties, which will help to expel toxins more easily.
Ginger is fantastic for the digestive system and it will assist your body in absorbing the things it needs most. It can also help reduce the symptoms that come from detoxing, including bloating and flatulence.

Cayenne pepper is well known as a metabolism booster, so it helps to get things moving to eliminate these toxic substances.
Garlic will help to stimulate the liver into producing detoxifying enzymes.
Green Vegetables (broccoli & kale) are high in antioxidants that also stimulate the detoxification enzyme in the digestive tract.
Some people will be more likely to be affected by these spices than others, depending on numerous factors, so try them in small amounts before trying to add more.

- When the time is over, press “cancel” and carefully quick-release the pressure, setting the pressure valve to vent.

- Add the raw chicken breasts (if using), broth, carrots, apple cider vinegar, turmeric, cumin, cayenne pepper; mix to combine.
