Ingredients

·         1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1" cubes

·         3 carrots, peeled and sliced

·         1 stalk celery, diced

·         1 small yellow onion, diced

·         1 clove garlic, minced

·         Pinch of Kosher or sea salt, more or less to taste

·         1/2 teaspoon black pepper

·         1/8 teaspoon allspice

·         1 teaspoon paprika

·         1 bay leaf

·         2 (15 ounce) cans navy beans, drained and rinsed (optional, black beans)

·         4 cups vegetable broth, low-sodium

·         1 (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes (no salt added), *this is an optional ingredient

·         4 cups baby spinach, loosely packed

·         1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, optional, for serving (1/2 teaspoon per serving)

Directions

Add all ingredients, except spinach and olive oil, to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low 6 to 8 hours, or until the vegetables are tender. Add spinach, stir and continue cooking just until wilted, approximately 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy! (1 Serving Per Night if doing the 3 Day Cleanse & Detox)

Tip: If you prefer a thicker soup, after 5 hours of cooking, simply remove 1 cup of soup, along with ingredients, mash ingredients with a fork, return to the slow cooker, stir and continue cooking 1 to 3 hours. When serving, drizzle a little (optional) olive oil over each bowl of soup.

Note: Olive oil helps the body absorb nutrients more efficiently and supports a healthy digestive system.

Stovetop Method: Follow the same instructions above for prep, cover, and simmer until veggies are tender, approximately 2 hour. Stir every 15 minutes to prevent sticking. Add spinach at the end of cooking time, remove from heat, cover and allow spinach to wilt before serving.
