Our liver, the master metabolizer, filters the entire blood volume every three minutes. How about that? All our organs have their special role, but it’s the liver that processes and neutralizes all the chemicals our body is exposed to, from our food, environment, or personal care products. In healthy diets or detox diets, when we consume appreciable quantities of vegetables and fruits, our cells receive high concentrations of potassium which flushes out excess water and toxins, creating an alkaline environment.
The toxins are then sent via the bloodstream to the liver, which neutralizes them for excretion either by the kidneys or through the colon, via the bile. During detox diets, lots of toxins are flushed out from our cells, so the liver is exposed to a greater pressure and needs to be stimulated to cope with the higher bile production. A healthy production of bile is essential for eliminating the toxins, so we should help the liver with key nutrients, such as antioxidants (for instance the detoxifying betalains in this Liver Cleanse Juice) and fiber.
Soluble Fiber Sources: oatmeal, lentils, apples, oranges, pears, nuts, flaxseeds, chia seeds, beans, celery, carrots. Soluble seeds can also be consumed as puddings (chia or flaxseed pudding).
Insoluble Fiber Sources: seeds, nuts, brown rice, zucchini, celery, broccoli, cabbage, onions, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, green beans, dark leafy vegetables, raisins.
My three detox soups are not only packed with potassium for creating an alkaline environment and to help flush out the toxins from our cells, but also with fiber, soluble for stimulating the bile secretion and insoluble for promoting bowel movement and elimination of toxins. The soups come with gorgeous colors, taste delicious, and I actually added them to my comfort food recipe section because they make me feel amazing.
These soups are part of my 3-Day Detox and Restore Plan, one that you can actually keep, but you can also have one of them for dinner during my cleansing program The Simplest 1-Day Detox. You can also try my newest detox soup recipe: Red Cabbage Soup.
Plus, this Liver Detox Smoothie or this Weight Loss Detox Water will perfectly fit any detox diet.
To make any of these soups even sexier for my body cells, I sprinkle two teaspoons of my home-made detox mix (recipe below) on top of the bowl to boost their flavor and trigger the natural detoxification process with healing spices.
Broccoli Detox Soup
Beet Detox Soup
Sweet Potato Detox Soup
Spice and Seed Mix for Detox Soups
This mix matches any soup taste, because the flavor isn’t too strong, but actually balanced. I use my favorite spices:
- Turmeric – for it’s warm, peppery taste and exceptional anti-inflammatory effects (it works magic on digestion).
- Cinnamon – because it stimulates the natural detoxification and enhance vegetable flavors when used in small, discrete doses.
- Cayenne – because a girl likes things really spicy, and cayenne comes with health benefits too, stimulating circulation and neutralizing the acidity.
I also add a few crushed coriander seeds, a little ground cumin, then mix them all with a mix of lightly toasted seeds – crushed hazelnuts, nigella, sesame, and pumpkin seeds. The result is a gorgeous flavored spice and seeds mix that you can you for soups, stews and salad, whenever you need a little twist with healthy effects.

Notes
Beet Detox Soup
Sweet Potato Detox Soup
The soups look amazing. However, looking at the nutritional information, they seem to be really high in sodium, although you don’t add much salt to the recipes. I and my daughter have high blood pressure, but I’d be reluctant to serve them unless the sodium content was cut in half or more. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Hi Linda, thanks for writing me! You can replace the vegetable broth with warm filtered water and the celery stalks (which are high in sodium) with parsnip or parsley root – this should solve the sodium problem. Let me know how they turned out!
or you can de-bunk the sodium/high blood pressure myth http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/its-time-to-end-the-war-on-salt/
I agree, Don. Unless my sodium levels are life threatening, I’ll stick with detoxing. But, I doubt if I ever have a serious issue with sodium since I do eat well (mostly) and naturally doctor myself for most needs. Remember how the medical field spread the word hard and fast about not eating more than 1-2 eggs a day? Then years later, they’re like OOPS!
Practicing medicine is not an exact science. If you doubt that, then look at all the lawsuits on our commercials for those that have been affected by taking this drug or having that procedure done.
The goal of avoiding added salt is to balance sodium and potassium. Most people add sodium to everything while avoiding vegetables high in potassium. If you and your daughter are increasing intake of foods rich in potassium, you’re doing the most important thing for your health.
I doubt that your daughter needs to avoid sodium from natural sources such as celery and parsnips when those are part of a potassium-rich soup. To reduce the sodium in these soups, I’d make my own no-added-salt veggie broth but I wouldn’t avoid celery. Celery adds an important flavor and nutritional balance to potassium-rich foods. Too little sodium in the sodium/potassium balance is as dangerous as too much sodium.
Victoria, you are so right about the potassium. I would also add that, during a detox diet, one should completely avoid salt at least for a few days, to allow the cells the time to re-establish the right sodium-potassium balance, and also pump out the excess toxins and water. Thank you so much for your excellent advise!
Just so you know and can rest your heart. Mineral salt is good for you. it is nothing like the table salt most use. Your Body actually needs it for a normal Blood pressure. Most doctors don’t even know this. as they are NOT taught in medical school Nutrition. I use Pink Himalayan salt. all stores carry this here in my town. so yours should too. throw out the white table salts and just use the Mineral Salts.
I’d love the sweet potato one!!
The orange one was my favorite too! 🙂
Is there something I could substitute for the red lentils? Don’t have any on hand….
Melissa, you can substitute them with any other lentils you have on hand, or you can simply skip this ingredient – the other are really nutrient-rich and will mdefinitely make this soup work for you! It just won’t be that thick as in my photos.
I just finished the sweet potato minutes ago. I did not have vegetable broth, so I reserved the water I cooked the lentils in and added 1/2 can coconut milk as the broth base, it was a good sub. The soup is flavorful, creamy and packed full of nutrition.a win, win all the way around!
Teri, using the cooking water of lentils is a great idea, because it contains some of the leaked minerals. And coconut milk must taste delicious in this soup – thanks for writing me your version! Happy you liked it!:)
Wow.. These soups look so healthy. I am making a healthy sweet potato soup for my blog today. This one is definitely an inspiration.
Beautiful photography, as usual. 🙂
Thank you, Aysegul, can’t wait to see your healthy soup post and your lovely photos! 😉
All three of these soups have my mouth watering! They sound so delicious and warming, and the photography is gorgeous. 🙂
Thanks, Lane, they were really delicious and nourishing, a real treat for our body cells! 🙂
Difficult to choose one: they look all gorgeous!
I would start with my favorite color 🙂 Thanks, Natalia!
I’m going to try these soups by making them as raw as possible. I have a blender that does soups. I’ll just warm them for a short while.
Great recipes. Thank you.
Doreen, maybe just lightly steaming the vegetables would preserve the nutrients and still give them an appropriate texture for turning them into a cream soup. I’m happy that you liked the recipes! Thanks for your idea!
Thank you , Ana, for your explanation of detox and the importance of both soluble and insoluble fiber! I need to get beets back into my rotation, and your soup is a delicious way to do this! Fabulous recipes and education! Thanks so much, Ana!
Thank you Traci, I’m really enjoying what I’m doing here and I am very happy when I get positive feedback! I was searching for a way to diversify the beet addition to my diet too (apart from juices and salads), so this soup was right what I needed and it was delicious! 🙂
Do these soups freeze well?
Hi Liz, I only prepared them in small batches, so I don’t know how they freeze. I’ll try to freeze them next time I cook them and let you know!
What gorgeous inspiration! That broccoli soup is just calling my name! Yum!
Thanks, dear Aubrie! They were really delicious! XO
These look amazing! My favorite time of the year for soups! 🙂 Thank for sharing.
This is my favorite time for comfort food too – and these soups are really comfort food!
These all look really good. Do you think the recipes could be doubled or tripled? I love making big batches.
Hi Ellen, they could definitely be cooked in big batches – although I didn’t try this yet, I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t be a problem to freeze them.
These look amazing? What did you drizzle on top to give it that creamy look? Are there other toppings you used that were not included in the recipe that you like? Thanks!
Sarah, it’s just a teaspoon of coconut milk – I forgot to add to the recipe, but I’ll update it now!
These look great! I’ve printed all of them off to try.
Maybe you addressed it and I missed it, but is the white cream on these soups a cashew cream? It looks beautiful!
Hi Nic, it’s not cashew but coconut milk – you can substitute this perfectly with cashew cream or completely skip it. I’m so glad you liked the recipes – let me know how they turned out!
Hi Ana,
Do you eat one soup for three days for the detox to work? Or does it work just after having one serving of the soup?
Hi Angelica, your body will feel great after having one of these soups, but the cleansing effects will be visible after having during the 3 day detox plan that I’ve just published. Thanks for your visit!
So does that mean you can eat as much as you want of the soups everyday for 3 days?
Sure, you can put them on rotation and indulge any time you want.
I’ve tried all three soups and they are delicious. I’m on day 3 of eating only these detox soups and I am feeling great! I have the red beet soup for breakfast, the sweet potato soup for lunch and the green broccoli soup for dinner. They are very filling!
I am so happy you tried my soups, I love them so much, they are my favorite comfort food! Thanks for the feedback! 🙂
What a lovely and informative post! Your photos drew me in, and the recipes made me feel so hungry all of a sudden. I can’t wait to try making them!
Thank you Kristie, let me know how they turned out!
Lovely recepies! If you make a big batch, kan you freeze the broccoli soup?
Hi Matilde, I didn’t try to freeze them, but I don’t think there’s a problem doing it, as they only contain vegan ingredients. However, reheating the food decreases its nutrient load, so maybe for the detox period it would be a good idea to only eat freshly cooked food. Thanks for your visit!
I made the Sweet Potato Detox Soup using purple sweet potatoes. It was delicious and had a beautiful deep purple color! I doubled the batch since we are a family of 4, and had leftovers for the next day. I also omitted the salt, oil and coconut milk garnish…and instead garnished it with raw pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds and chia seeds. (We avoid salt, oil and sugar.)
I can’t wait to try your other 2 detox soups!
On a side note, I spent 3 weeks in Romania visiting my husband’s family a few years back. Lovely, beautiful country with authentic people.
Hi Desiree, thank you very much for the feedback! I am really happy that you liked the recipe and that it was flexible enough to adapt to your own dietary needs.
How nice to hear you loved my beautiful country! Drop me a line if you come back again, would love to help with travel tips 🙂
hi ana,
just made the sweet potato soup and it tastes great! the only thing i noticed, i don’t have a blender so i used my food processor. it’s a little more glop than soup…is it because i used a food processor instead?
Hi Abby,
Yes, that must be it. You can add more liquid (but not too much, to still preserve the taste) if you use the food processor. Let me know if that did the trick.
Love every single one of these soups so I have saved each recipe to try out! Thanks for sharing them!
Thank you Thalia, let me know how they turn out!
Hi Ana,
These ALL look and sound absolutely amazing. I am wondering, would it be okay to roast the beets instead of boil/simmer?
Thank you,
Imen xx
Hi Iman, is absolutely fine to roast the beets – they’ll give the soup a smoky flavor, delicious!
Oh my golly, the colour of these soups is incredible!! I have a bag of beets in the fridge, and I have certainly been inspired to try a beetroot soup. Thanks:)
Hi Laura, you really have to give a try to this beetroot soup, it’s delicious! 🙂
These soups all look so delicious and your food photography is stunning! Looking forward to exploring the rest of your site!
Thank you, Holly!
I am making the broccoli soup now. When do you add the celery, lemon and salt? I put the celery in with the onions and the salt after that but have no clue on the lemon.
Hi Koleen, you can add the lemon before serving the soup – let me know how it turned out!
Hello! I am making the broccoli soup tonight. I’ve been eating a lot of soup lately and was hoping to make a little something to go with the soup. Do you think it will still have the same benefits if I eat anything else with it?
Hi Anita, as long as you don’t eat processed foods and unhealthy fats, the effects stay the same. Maybe some spicy roasted chickpeas would make a good side, or a small portion of turmeric flavored brown rice.
For the soup detox can you eat the same soup for the 3 days or does it have to be the 3 different choices. I am making the beet soup from our garden beets that I just pulled. It will make more than 2 servings.
Love your blog!!
Hi Leona, the choice is yours – you can have each of them or just one. I would go for three different soups, because in this way you offer your body a wide array of antioxidants and other nutrients. Either way it’s fine, especially if you prepare these with healthy veggies from your garden. Enjoy!
Hello the broccoli soup looks delicious! Just one question do I need to soak the chia seeds before putting them in soup?
Hi Bretta, you simply add the chia seeds to the soup, no need to soak them. Let me know how it turned out!
Thanks for sharing your HEALTHY Knowledge! I nominated your blog ti the contest…
Thank you so much, Patricia! 🙂
Just tried the green soup- so much better than I could have ever imagined. Thank you for sharing these recipes !
Thank you, Rose! I really loved making and eating these soups, they’re such a blessing for our bodies, I’m so glad you liked the green one too!
So, so pretty! Love the pics and the ideas, thank you very much for all the inspiration *
They all look delicious…badly in need of nice new nutritious recipes.
Thanks so much!
Christine, I’m so glad you found here some recipes to inspire you for really nutritious meals!
Just made the beet one and LOVED it!!! So tasty. I can’t wait to try the others. Oh – and I subbed water for the veggie stock, used two green onions instead of the leek, and added two small celery sticks as well. Will definitely make this again – especially the next time I have a leek!
Not sure why my last comment showed it as 1 star – I meant to click 5! I also just tried the broccoli one and absolutely loved it! The addition of parsnip is wonderful! Thanks again for such delicious recipes…
Thank you, Vittoria, I’m so glad you found inspiration on my blog 🙂
thank for sharing.
*always successful and happy*
Happy that you liked these, Parivash!
Hi there
I made the green soup last night and it was amazing! Tried the sweet potato should tonight and can’t say the same – it tastes like raw onions! Is that how it’s supposed to be?
Hey Lisa, I’m really sorry to hear the sweet potato soup didn’t turn out good! Raw onion is definitely not the taste is should have – it should taste sweet and a bit tangy from the ginger. Did you roast the onion alongside with the other veggies? Thank you for the feed back and I’m really happy you enjoyed the green soup 🙂
Thank you. I just found these by chance linked to another Pinterest recipe pin. These are so perfect for my Autumn detox. They look amazing and very flavorful and satisfying.
Kathleen, these are nutrient-loaded and amazing for an Autumn detox, I’m sure you’re going to love them! 🙂
Hello Ana, I just stumbled into your site and you got me intrigued. You have great recipes, beautiful pictures and lots of informative information. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I can’t wait to try out some recipes.
Hey Cherly, thank you so much, your words give value to my work! I really hope you will try my recipes – let me know how they turned out!
I sure will ☺️
Hi,
I was really interested in these soups but I noticed the very high sugar levels.
I’m diabetic and have been advised that anything above 5gms is a no no.
Can you suggest anything?
Thanks
Carole
Hi Carole, I’m sorry to hear you can’t enjoy these soups, but there are always options! You can replace vegetables high in sugar, such as sweet potatoes, carrots or beets, with green leafy vegetables (spinach, parsley, kale, brussels sprouts), cauliflower and broccoli, and add creaminess with small portions of beans, which balance the blood sugar levels. I hope this helps!
I made your beetroot soup today for my boyfriend and I! The beet taste was intense, which is to be expected in a beetroot soup 🙂 but I really loved it! I’ll definitely try the other ones as well eventually. I tend to make soup with just one or two veggies, but I do love your combinations! And what can I say about your pictures, they’re stunning! Anyway, thanks very much for the inspiration! 🙂
I’m really glad you liked the recipe! Beet taste is quite intense, indeed, but the benefits are fantastic for our health. I always preferred the orange soup taste over the best one, but we should give beet a try too 🙂
Hi Ana, enjoying the sweet potato soup I just made…such wonderful flavors! At the same time, made vegetable broth from vegetable scraps I’ve saved over the past few months…so easy to make the broth and used it in the soup. I used 5 cups broth and 1/2 cup coconut milk to make soup creamy.
Last month made the broccoli soup and enjoyed it as well. Both of these recipes are the first vegetable soups I’ve made that have great depth of flavor. Thanks!!
Sounds really great, saving the vegetable scraps for broth it’s a great idea! I’m really happy you were inspired by my soups and you enjoyed them, thank you so much for your feedback!
I made the beet and broccoli soups, but did not like either of them enough to finish them. Too bad.
Sorry it didn’t work out for you.
How often would you eat the soup and for how long.
You can one soup a day, for three days, or maybe have a detox day and eat these soups only. They are nutrient packed, so you can have them any time and for how long you want.
Hi Ana,
Doc tells me I have fatty liver and high cholesterol levels. No booze since March and eating healthier, love your Beet soup. Do you have other suggestions?
Thanks
Carl
Hi Carl, my suggestions are: take milk thistle supplements to improve liver function, add soluble fats to your diet (oats, chia, chickpeas, citrus fruits), exclude hydrogenated fats, plain flour and sugar, and stick to healthy fats (coconut oil, avocado, flaxseed oil). I really hope these help! All the best, Ana
Thank you Ana for 3 wonderful recipes for liver detox. Today I tried the Beet detox soup and enjoyed making and eating it too. We are above 45 years couple, with some issues of bloating and age related liver lethargy :). So I plan food very carefully considering hereditary aspects of both mine and husband’s. I studiously trying to avoid diabetes, asthma by managing our lifestyle exercise/yoga, diet and home remedies and would like to avoid any continuous medications as far as possible. So here is my link to todays dinner which includes beet detox soup too. http://recipeadapter.blogspot.in/2016/07/a-gluten-free-dinner.html
It looks great, I’m so happy you tried my recipe and enjoyed it! Every step of your healthy lifestyle sounds excellent, and yes, avoiding continuous medication is my number one health goal too! Small steps make huge difference on long term! Thank you for sharing them here! 🙂
My son is allergic to lentils (and garbanzo beans). Can I just omit or should I try to sub in another bean?
Try to use split peas instead, or simply omit the lentils. The soup will be less creamy and contain a smaller amount of fiber, but still very nutritious and delicious. I hope this helps!
Excellent work/blog …. very much appreciated. Keep up the excellent work.
Thank you Gina! Lovely to file through your photography too! xo
I googled “vegan sweet potato soup recipes” and ended up on your site. Just made the sweet potato detox soup, and it was absolutely delicious! My husband and I are literally moaning with pleasure with every spoonful. This one’s an absolute winner! Thank you, Ana. I’ve never seen your website before, but I’m definitely subscribing to your newsletter!
Wow, thank you so much Nicole! I’m so excited to read you like the soup and you decided to sign up for the newsletter. Thanks for the feedback!
I have been eating the sweet potato detox for lunch each day (two days in) and can already feel a difference. I ended up using the slow cooker, as I’ve used it to make sweet potato lentil soup before, and it worked well. However, now I’m worried some of the nutrients cooked out, so next week, I’ll do the beet soup on the stove top. Thank you so much for these!
Thank you for your detailed feedback, happy to read you feel better after having the sweet potato soup! Even when using a slow cooker the fiber and minerals are still there, only some of the vitamins cooked out.
I just made the sweet potato soup and WOW! It was super yummy (and filling) as the flavours all worked really well together (even though I skipped the coconut milk addition). It was a tad thicker than I expected, so I’ll use a bit more water/broth next time around (I too, also used the lentil water). I ended up adding fresh spinach at the end, leaving them to wilt in the hot soup. Thank you for sharing, this recipe is definitely in my winter soup rotation.
I’m really happy you liked the soup! Adding fresh spinach is a great idea, I will try this one the next time I make the soup 🙂 Thank you for the feedback!
I don’t know how to cook and the broccoli soup looks like mush. Any tips?
Try adding some warm vegetable soup in the blender to obtain a smoother texture.
I read somewhere a liver detox regimen that comprises broccoli, celery, tumeric and lemon juice. Problem is they do not provide the proportion of each ingredient. I have fatty liver due to alcohol and low patelets.
My husband is on chemo for colon cancer w tumors in liver. Recently he and had lots of mouth ulcers and can’t chew. So we have been eating a lot if soups. A lot. He can drink them through a straw. He needs to detox liver and colon so maybe this new soup routine will be perfect timing … Easy to swallow and detox too… And they will use up the organic veggies I stocked fridge w for salads that he can’t chew.
Lots if juicing here too. I wonder if u can use the carrot pulp or beet pulp in the soups as well. I hate to throw them out.
Can I use chicken broth?
Or I guess I could make veggie broth from our juicing pulp in Instapot
Hello and thank you so much for the recipes. They are delicious. Just wondering- how do you get your green soup to actually look bright and green? Mine turned out to look like brownish mush even though I followed the recipe exactly. Maybe my parsnip and carrot we’re on the large side, but I still can’t imagine it looking like yours if they had been smaller. Tips appreciated. Thanks!
Hi Heather, I’m really intrigued about your soup colour description, because, no matter how large the root ingredients, the greens and broccoli should give a bright, vibrant green colour. Maybe next time try adding a bunch of fresh parsley, its green colour cures any brownish shade 🙂 I hope you enjoyed this soup, though 😉
ok thank you for your reply. I will definitely make it again, even if it isn’t bright. I can feel my cells rejoicing when I eat it. I currently doing the 3-day liver cleanse with my husband and we are feeling refreshed and nourished. Beet soup tonight! oh- also, the detox spice mix with nuts is SO delicious atop applesauce too! I’m putting that stuff on everything. Thanks again.
I’m so happy to read you are doing the liver cleanse and you feel refreshed! I also add the detox spice mix on pretty much everything 🙂 Wish you the best health!
I just whipped up the sweet potato and the broccoli soups. It was super easy, I had everything on hand (convenience! ) with the exception of the parsnips so I just omitted them. They both would have been great if I had them but are darn good without. The only thing I did that wasn’t a part of the recipe per se was cook red lentils in my instant pot. I sautéed onions and garlic with cumin seed and a dash of curry powder added 2C water and 1C red lentils and pressure cooked for 15 minutes. This alone was delicious, and I have extra since I only used a half cup of it for the sweet potato soup. I love soups but my family doesn’t find them filling enough so I’ll look forward to making these recipes again frequently for nourishing lunches!
Thank you very much for the feedback, it’s been a while since I didn’t put my pressure cooker at work, it’s about time 🙂
i just wanted to say that these look really yummy – especially the beetroot and sweet potato ones….
ive been eating alot of vegetable soups lately in my attempt to sway the whole family to a vegetable diet and feel great – will definately add these to my list to eat as well 🙂
thanks ana
Ana, it’s really awesome! This will quickly become a favorite in our house!
Yay, happy to read it! These are definitely a favourite in mine too! 🙂
Hi Ana,
Today Im starting your 3 days detox plan, and im so excited about this soups, i was planning on have each soup per day so I can try all of them. Is there any suggestion for replacing the parsnip in the broccoli detox soup?
I’m in Mexico and I went to 3 different super market by now and they don’t have it, so I don’t think I’ll be able to find it. Thanks
Hi Maritza, you can simply skip it and add more of the other veggies, or you can replace it with a potato. I am delighted you gave this detox a try, and I would love to read about your experience with it!
I do a liver cleanse twice a year. I don’t have a gal bladder and I can feel when my liver is getting bogged down. I have been using the Global Healing Center liver cleanse for 3 years now and I love it. Always looking for good detox recipes for when I am on the 6 day cleanse. So happy I found this page. I made the sweet potato soup so far and the spice and seed mix with a few extras that I added (organic nutritional yeast, black pepper and some dulse flakes). This soup and the spice/seed mix is EXCELLENT!!! I love preparing and eating healthy food that nourishes my body. Thank you for these wonderful recipes!! Namaste……
Thankyou for helping out, great information
