Creamless Spinach Soup

A detox diet recipe to try ! Cleanse !!
INGREDIENTS

• Two pounds chopped organic spinach
• One teaspoon chopped organic garlic
• One cup organic diced onion
• One cup organic diced carrots
• One cup organic diced celery
• One cup organic diced leek

• Two tablespoons cold-pressed organic olive oil
• Six cups purified water

INSTRUCTIONS
(You should use organic ingredients in any detox diet recipe, because they are grown without any of the toxic herbicides, insecticides, and fertilizers which you are trying to flush from your system.)
In a large pot, sauté the garlic in the olive oil over medium heat for two minute, while slowly adding the celery, leek, carrots, and onion. The onions will become translucent when they are cooked, and then you can add the water, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring the mix to a boil, turn
down the heat, and let it simmer, covered for sixty minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for an hour before straining out the thyme and bay leaves.
When the mixture is cooled, puree it in a blender and return it to the pot, adding the chopped spinach. Cook the mix over medium heat until the spinach has wilted, and remove it from the heat immediately. You want to avid over cooking the spinach or you will destroy its nutritional
content. All foods, but especially fruits and vegetables, will lose some of their nutrients when they are cooked, so it's a good idea to eat your fruits and veggies raw when you can. The detox diet recipe is ready.....
