Best Broccoli Detox Soup with Herbs and Spices

As we head into spring yet still brace the cold, give your body a comforting reset with this deliciously detoxifying broccoli soup. Made with our ORGANIC INDIA Tulsi Green Tea as a broth, it’s nutrient-packed, filling, and flavorful without being heavy.  This simple blend is brimming with soothing ingredients, including piquant fresh ginger, tangy lemon, and two of our most beloved ORGANIC INDIA supplements, Turmeric and Moringa. Easy to prepare and versatile, cleansing nourishment couldn’t be more comforting.

Fluids are key to supporting the body’s natural detoxification processes, and green tea is one of the most potent. Rich in polyphenols, green tea can support the liver and fight free radicals, aiding the body’s own filtration system and preventing cell damage. Our ORGANIC INDIA Tulsi Green Tea adds yet another dimension of wellness, incorporating the Tulsi (Holy Basil), which is further packed with active plant compounds to support the body’s defenses and nurture the digestive, immune, and metabolic systems.

Our ORGANIC INDIA Moringa is one of the most potent ways to nourish the whole body. Whole moringa is loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, and considered one of the most nutritious greens on the planet.

Rich in phytonutrients, Turmeric may be the most studied herb on the planet. Renowned for its ability to support a healthy inflammatory response, its active component, curcumin, is a powerful antioxidant that has been shown to benefit immunity, liver function, skin, digestive health, and more. Our ORGANIC INDIA Turmeric Formula combines Turmeric with powerful curcumin and Trikatu, allowing for maximum absorption and optimizing wellness benefits.  

In this transition of seasons, going for green is simply irresistible, and rich crucifer broccoli is one of the most compelling ways to do so. Adding such a stalwart trio as our ORGANIC INDIA Tulsi Green Tea, Turmeric Formula, and Moringa, there’s no doubt this simple soup has all the makings of a nutritious detoxifying meal. Combined with potato, leek, and seasonings, it’s both a smooth winter warmer and a fresh spring clean.
