Vegan Detox Soup:

Now that the holidays are over, I'm thinking that most of you are feeling like me and need a little detox from all of the holiday binging, so here's an easy detox soup recipe for you. I like it because it's easy, and it still has a lot of flavor.

NOTE: This soup has not been proven to detox your body, but it will make you feel better! ☺

Ingredients:

4 1/2 cups water

2 cups yellow onions, sliced

1 1/2 cups celery, sliced

3/4 cup white cooking wine

1/4 cup scallions, sliced

4 cloves garlic, crushed

3/4 tsp. lemon juice

1/2 tsp. Coarse Kosher salt (or to taste)

Drop of olive oil (for a little extra flavor)

Dash of paprika

Teeny dash of cayenne

Green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Add the onions, celery, scallions, garlic, olive oil, and a pinch of salt to a large pot. Heat on medium heat for about 5 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup of the water, the cayenne, and the paprika.

2. Continue cooking another 7 minutes or so, until the vegetables are pretty soft. Add in the remaining water, cooking wine, salt, and lemon juice. Bring the soup to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for another 20 minutes or so. Garnish with the green onions and serve.
