How to make this Detox Vegetable Soup
Sauté vegetables – In 6 QT Dutch Oven or large soup pot add olive oil and heat over med/high heat. When oil is warm add Onion, Ginger, Thyme, and Rosemary. Sauté 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add Carrots and sauté 2-3 minutes.
Add in the liquid – Add Vegetable Broth, Salt, and Pepper. Reduce heat and simmer 10-15 minutes or until Carrots have softened just a bit.
Add the Zucchini – Add Zucchini and simmer for 5 minutes. Zucchini cooks very fast, which is why it’s added towards the end.

Tips for making Detox Vegetable Soup
Chopped Vegetables: Cut the vegetables roughly the same size, that way they cook evenly.
Leafy Greens: Add these in at the very end as they will wilt down quickly. You can substitute the Spinach and Arugula with Kale or whatever your favorite leafy green is. Kale is a little tougher, so it may take a bit longer for it to cook down.
Taste: Taste the soup as you are cooking and add more Salt or Pepper to your liking.
How to Store and Re-Heat this Soup
Storing leftovers: Let the soup come to room temperature. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Freezing: You can freeze this soup in an airtight freezer container for up to 3 months
Re-heating: To re-heat this soup, pour individual serving into a microwave safe bowl and heat 2-3 minutes or until heated through. For a larger batch, place in a soup pot on the stover and heat it over medium heat until warmed.
