Instant Pot Detox Turmeric Veggie Soup (Whole30 Paleo) – a delicious, savory soup full of cleansing ingredients.  Loads of veggies and spices combine for a flavorful, fragrant, and super nutritious recipe! 

One of the goals I set for 2017 was to eat clean as much as possible.  For me, the weekends tend to be the toughest for sticking to this plan and occasionally I find myself needing to detox from a heavy cheat meal (or three!)  Enter this soup…I love this recipe because it has so many digestive and anti-inflammatory health benefits AND is super delicious.

This tasty soup contains vegetables, spices, broth, and coconut milk…that’s it, just real, clean ingredients loaded with nutrition.  The flavor-packed spice blend of garlic, ginger, turmeric, garam masala, curry, and cayenne provide plenty of digestive and detoxifying power to get your system back on track.

A little side note on turmeric…you may have noticed the sudden trendy topic involving turmeric and its significant health advantages.  I’ve been reading up and here’s what I learned about this magical ingredient.  Turmeric contains the compound curcumin, which is a powerful antioxidant responsible for the bright yellow color.  Curcumin is known to fight inflammation, and believed to improve digestion and help with joint pain, among many other things.  It can be taken as a supplement, but I love the warm spicy flavor so much, I’ve been adding it (along with curry, which is made from turmeric) to recipes wherever I can.

I like to make this Turmeric Vegetable Soup in the Instant Pot because it does all the work for me in a short amount of time, but it can made on the stovetop or in the slow cooker as well.  Add this one to your Meal Prep Sunday plan, and enjoy it all week long!
