How to Make It
-
Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until they become soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Add the vegetables: Toss in the carrots, celery, zucchini, broccoli, and kale. Stir for a few minutes to combine and lightly soften the vegetables.
-
Add broth and spices: Pour in the vegetable broth and diced tomatoes. Stir in turmeric, cumin, salt, and pepper.
-
Simmer to perfection: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant.
-
Blend (optional): For a creamy texture, you can use an immersion blender to partially or fully blend the soup. This step is optional but adds a comforting smoothness.
-
Serve and garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro. Enjoy hot for maximum detox benefits.
