When there are holidays there is food, and lots of it, so best idea is to use a recipe as healthy and filling as this vegetable detox soup, packed with goodness and taste! We do not want to eat sad food after all.
In this soup I have not used other than natural ingredients. Nothing prepacked, no stock cubes or other stuff full of preservatives. Of course, if we want to detox we must eat simple things, yet use some natural favourings to spice up.

Extra Information
If you like you can save a few vegetables before pureeing them and serve the soup topped with them and a sprinkle of extra paprika: it looks very nice. As we say in Italian: “anche l’occhio vuole la sua parte”… “also the eye wants his share”!
