Why We Love This Chicken Detox Soup Recipe

Looking for a great Detox Soup Recipe? Especially after the holidays, I like to take some time to eat healthy and include some nourishing, detoxing soups like this Chicken Detox Soup!

From my personal experience, cleanses usually involve expensive herbal supplement kits from the health food store, or a whole lot of juicing.

However, this cleanse is different. It’s a Chicken Detox Soup Cleanse made from a nourishing homemade soup with fresh chicken, loads of veggies, and ginger, to boost your metabolism and immune system, as well as remove toxins to help your body work as it should. Eat this soup for a few days and you will be feeling good as new! It is gluten-free, dairy-free, and paleo to boot!

With protein, vegetables, vitamins, and minerals, it provides more nutrients than most of the world’s population receives on any given day. So don’t be afraid to give it a try!

Ingredients You Need

  • Chicken Breast – chicken breast is best since it is high in protein and low in fat. You can use chicken thighs, but this will add fat to the chicken soup.
  • Chicken Broth – or chicken stock
  • Vegetables – onion, broccoli, carrots, celery and peas
  • Fresh Parsley – for a fresh, herby flavor
  • Fresh Ginger – adds flavor and antioxidants
  • Garlic – to make the soup aromatic
  • Olive Oil – to sauté the veggies, you can also use avocado oil if preferred!
  • Apple Cider Vinegar – adds a slight tangy flavor
  • Crushed Red Pepper – for just a hint of spice
  • Turmeric – great for cleanses
  • Salt & Pepper – to taste

Pro Tip: If you see any vegetable in there that you don’t like, switch it out for something you do like. Other great options are spinach, kale, or additional fresh herbs! For ease, you can use shredded rotisserie chicken instead!

How to Make Detox Soup

Set a large sauce pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil, chopped onions, celery, ginger, and garlic. Sauté for 5-6 minutes to soften. Then add the raw chicken breasts, broth, carrots, apple cider vinegar, crushed red pepper, turmeric, and 1 teaspoon sea salt.

Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 20+ minutes, until the chicken breasts are cooked through. Then remove the chicken with tongs and set them on a cutting board to cool.

Add broccoli, peas, and parsley to the pot. Continue to simmer to soften the broccoli. Meanwhile, shred the chicken breast with two forks, and stir it back into the soup. Once the broccoli is tender, taste, then salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm!

Pro Tip: If you like a little extra tangy flavor, serve your chicken detox soup with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
