Paleo Detox Green Soup – a Whole30, Keto, AIP, and even Vegan friendly recipe !

This Paleo Detox Green Soup was invented because I had vegetable scraps in the fridge and was craving a green, almost smoothie-like recipe.

The dry-heat-plus-rich-food of the winter have made me crave something light and refreshing and to keep my body and skin hydrated.

This Paleo Detox Green Soup couldn’t be simpler to put together. The cooking steps are quite similar to my Paleo Cauliflower Cream Chowder.

I’ve made this soup with chicken and vegetable stock. In my opinion, I feel vegetable stock makes the tastiest Paleo Detox Green Soup.

You can serve it warm or slightly chilled to allow your taste buds to experience the clean and refreshing flavor.

The color turns vibrant green when you blend the baby spinach and flat parsley together. It’s an awesome way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet.

The Detox Green Soup that Soothes Your Stomach, Rich in Vitamins and Antioxidants

When my husband, Nate, and I were sick a few weeks ago, this Paleo Detox Green Soup was the only food we could put into our stomachs without upsetting them further.

According to medical news today, “spinach is an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin A (in the form of carotenoids), manganese, folate, magnesium, iron, copper, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin E, calcium, potassium and vitamin C. It is a very good source of dietary fiber, phosphorus, vitamin B1, zinc, protein and choline”.

It’s best to buy organic spinach whenever possible and wash it well before using it. When purchasing spinach, look for vibrant, deep green leaves and avoid any leaves that look wilted or which have brown spots.

Parsley “strengthens the Immune System: The vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants found in parsley are helpful for strengthening immunity. Vitamins such as vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin K, folate, and niacin each act on different aspects of the immune system”, according to Organicfacts.net.

Another way to make the Paleo Detox Green Soup more hearty is to add avocado slices and coconut milk/cream. It will add good fat to your diet and it tastes lovely both warm and chilled.

So next time if you know someone who’s not feeling well or if you just want some leafy green vitamin boost, my Paleo Detox Green Soup recipe will come in handy!
