Unmixed Leek, Carrot & White Bean Detox Soup

To cleanse and re-energize the digestive system, we rely on a detox soup that is easy to prepare and enjoy all year round.

A tasty soup with leeks, carrots and white beans. Add fresh herbs, nuts and a drizzle of oil when serving for a complete, healthy and detoxifying meal.

Ingredients

• 2 leeks
• 4 large carrots
• 1 white onion
• 4 cloves of garlic
• About 500 g of white beans (if canned, remove any water)
• Thyme, rosemary, bay leaf
• Pinch of salt
• 1 liter of water
• Optional: walnuts
• Fresh parsley
• 4 tbsp. to s. malted yeast
• oil (olive, camelina, flax)

Preparation

1. Prepare the vegetables: cut the leek, carrots, onion and garlic.
2. Place all the cut vegetables, thyme, bay leaf and rosemary in a casserole dish. Add 1 liter of water.
3. Cover and simmer over very low heat for about 45 minutes with a very light boil. For example, on a fire that goes up to 10, don’t put it any hotter than 4.
4. When the vegetables are cooked, add the white beans, then blend 1/3 of the soup. You can mix directly in the casserole dish or take some of the vegetables and white beans and put them in the blender. Using a blender provides a smoother texture than mixing directly in the casserole dish.
5. Add the malted yeast, then simmer over very low heat just long enough to warm the white beans. If your soup is too liquid for you, let it simmer without a lid so that the broth evaporates a little.
6. When serving, add walnuts, chopped parsley and a drizzle of oil to each bowl. Enjoy this soup accompanied by a good wholemeal sourdough bread.
