Green Smoothie Challenge Cleansing Vegetable Soup Recipe

For those that prefer to be totally vegan on the Challenge, here is another soup recipe.

Ingredients

2 cups Chard roughly chopped
2 cups Kale roughly chopped

2 cups Spinach
2 cups Beet top greens roughly chopped
½ bunch Broccoli
cut into ½ inch pieces
3 Zucchini diced
3 Carrots diced
2 large
Beets diced (3-5 if small)
1 Onion quartered
3 cloves Garlic
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Cayenne pepper to taste

Instructions

Steam all of the vegetables together by putting a steamer in the bottom of a large soup pan. Place the carrots, beets, onion, zucchini and garlic at the bottom of the pan, on the steamer as they take a longer time to steam. Place the leafy greens on top.

Be certain that the water remains high enough. Add more water as needed. When the vegetables are fork tender, set aside and let cool. Place them in a blender. Add the water used to steam the vegetables to make a puree. Add additional filtered water if needed for desired consistency.

When all the vegetables are blended put them back in a pot and add salt, freshly cracked pepper, and cayenne to taste.

Serve hot.
