Detox Broccoli Soup
My Detox Broccoli Soup is everything that a vegan soup should have: flavor, good ingredients, and a lot of heart and soul. Can you believe that with only a few simple ingredients you can make a complex tasting and satisfying soup? One that is also good for your body? Well, here it is. Vegan, gluten free, detox for home.
It's the time after the Thanksgiving feasts when it's good to help your body heal by having a detox cleanse. My new Detox Broccoli Soup is a great cleansing recipe.
But not only after Thanksgiving our bodies usually have a lot to digest - literally. Think of all the other holidays during the year that involve lots of eating.
Nothing wrong with that of course, but I believe that one needs to reset oneself once in a while too. Or think about times when life becomes hectic and stressful.
We all tend to eat in a hurry. Not good in the long run, if it's not the right kind of food.
With only 2 ingredients plus optional toppings, this Broccoli Soup is done within minutes. You can enjoy a nourishing and healthy soup even in the most hectic times.
This easy soup recipe is also a great way to eat more veggies and greens in your nutrition.
Fast and easy recipes fit perfectly to a hectic lifestyle. If you want to have a fresh recipe with a lot of vegetables, which you don't have to make in advance, this Detox Broccoli Soup is exactly what you need.
Nothing against making a meal in advance the day before - but really fresh tastes so much better than preheated sometimes.
With this time saving Detox Broccoli Soup recipe you can make yourself comfortable after a long hard day at work, or after big holiday feasts.
And not just for yourself but also for your family and friends. Is there a better way to show them how much you care about them than feeding them good food?
There are already a couple of soup recipes on Contentedness Cooking like my Pumpkin Soup or the Vegan Sweet Potato Soup with Kale - but none of them is so easy to make as this Detox Broccoli Soup.
More than that, it's such an easy eye-catcher recipe. Look at the greens! It is straightforward to prepare: just cook the broccoli in coconut milk for about 5 minutes until it softens.
Let it cool a bit, put it in a bowl of blender or food processor blend until smooth.
The coconut milk adds richness and creaminess to the soup. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg to your own liking. Many detox recipes can take bland and boring - not this one!
Enjoy amazing variations of my Detox Broccoli Soup
It is absolutely possible to double or triple the amount of the Detox Broccoli Soup, which also depends on your guests and for sure on your appetite.
Basically I would say this recipe is suitable for 2 or 3 people, so feel free to make more or less with this easy recipe.
With the extra toppings, you can play around and add a new flavor component each time you make this soup. If you like, add some sliced avocados, crushed macadamias and last but not least some chopped parsley to the soup to make a full meal from it.
The only limit here is your creativity.
Whenever you feel like it, give my Detox Broccoli Soup a try.
I'm so much looking forward to hear from your here in the comments, on Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram.
Love talking to you. Cheers, Florian.

I love coconut milk based soups and your toppings are always divine!!
I love the simplicity of this soup. Great idea after all the heavy Thanksgiving dishes.
This soup sounds lovely! Love the use of coconut milk and that colour is just great!
This is SO what i need right now, especially since I'm trying to get a jump start on my (inevitable) New Years resolution to get in better shape. Love the toppings, too!
Such a beautiful color Florian!! I love broccoli soup so much! Looks so creamy too. Broccoli is one of my favorite veggies and I eat it probably 4 times a week, this looks so warm and comforting!! Now I'm craving soup!
Seriously? I can't believe there are only a few ingredients in this. It's absolutely lovely and could eat it any day of the week, all year! Nice!
I could definitely use this soup after last week. I love the vibrant green color, too. It just looks so amazingly tasty!
This looks so good, I've never had broccoli soup before!
Dear Florian, what a healthy and delicious soup. I love how simple it is to prepare...This is a must try this season. Have a wonderful day my friend, Catherine
This soup sounds just perfect. So simple, yet healthful and tasty. I look forward to trying this. I have been freezing broccoli for soup.
The combination of broccoli and coconut milk sounds very rich and savory. Plus, the color is gorgeous!
I adore broccoli and coconut milk so this sounds wonderful to me! Love how simple it is!
Amazing color—beautiful soup!
Florian, this was really delicious. IThank you
Glad this was a hit and thank you, Katie!
Just made this soup last night. Instead of using canned coconut milk, I used the Silk Coconut milk and it came out fantastic. I seasoned with salt and pepper and added a few chunks of avocado. It was DELICIOUS. I am eating a bowl for lunch the following day and it tastes even better. Thanks so much for the recipe!
Hi Bekka! Thanks so much for your amazing feedback. Happy to hear that the soup was such a big hit!
