My Detox Veggie Soup

WW Blue and Purple plans Opts per serving, Recipe makes 10 servings

Ingredients:

1 small onion chopped
2 cloves garlic finely chopped
1 tsp minced ginger

2 large carrots peeled and chopped in small pieces
1 large zucchini chopped
2 cups chopped cauliflower
1 small head of broccoli chopped
1/4 of a cabbage finely chopped
1 cup diced tomatoes
2 cups of chopped kale
1 carton of fat free broth
4-5 cups of water
2 tbsp Vegeta
2 tsp tumeric
1/2 tsp white pepper (optional)
1 can white kidney beans
Salt to taste

1. In a large pot spray cooking spray generously. Add chopped onion, garlic and ginger. Saute this for just a minute then add about 1/4 fat free broth of your choice. Saute another minute or so while chopping the rest of your veggies.

2. Add your heartier veggies like the carrots and cabbage and add the rest of the carton of broth. Let this come to a boil while you are continuing to chop the rest of your veggies. 

3. Once it comes to a boil add 4 cups of water and add the remaining veggies including diced tomatoes, and white beans but reserving the kale. Turn down to medium heat. Add in your vegeta, tumeric, white pepper if using and salt to taste. Let this simmer for about 15mins. 

4. If you are making this ahead like I usually do turn off the heat at this point and add in the chopped kale. Stir it in and cover pot with lid. The heat from the soup with cook the kale. I let it cool completely and then portion out for my lunches.  If you are serving/eating right away don't turn stove off, add kale and stir. Let it continue to cook for another 5-10 minutes to soften up the kale.
