This liver detox soup is a nutrition powerhouse filled with liver cleansing vegetables that help to prevent fatty liver and flush toxins out of your liver by opening up the phase 3 liver detoxification pathway.
Nothing beats this vegetable detox soup with carrots, beets, cauliflower, onion, garlic, artichoke, and hemp seeds. The soup is vegan, gluten-free, low fat, and one of the best detox soups to lose weight.
It is super easy to make this soup for fatty liver and a great way to cleanse your liver naturally. Beets and artichoke are my top foods to support a sluggish gallbladder by promoting bile flow.
Optimal bile flow is essential for weight loss as toxins and fats are transported out of the liver via the bile.
A healthy liver free of toxins and fat build-up is the cornerstone to maintaining a healthy weight and optimal gut health.
The earthy tones from the beetroot blend beautifully with cauliflower and carrots.
The hemp seeds and cauliflower provide a creamy texture that mellows out the earthy beetroot flavor. Both cauliflower and hemp seeds are excellent sources of plant-based protein.
Garlic, onion, and artichoke are sauteed with salt and pepper until golden brown for a subtle savory seasoning. Once this vegetable detox soup is blended, all the flavors meld together perfectly.
I chose not to add any additional spices as all the natural flavors from the cooked vegetables came through. But, thyme, rosemary, or dill would be my top herbs to season this soup.
Vegetables are the best foods to cleanse the liver. All the vegetables in this cleansing liver soup provide nutritional support for various liver detoxification pathways.
Is Cauliflower good for fatty liver?
Cauliflower is a great vegetable for fatty liver as it is a rich source of indole, a compound that can help control fatty liver. This study found decreased levels of circulating indoles in obese people with fatty liver and inflammation. Mice that were given indoles had significantly less liver fat and inflammation. Thus the indoles found in cauliflower can help to prevent fatty liver.
Cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable that contains nutrients for the sulfation detox pathway. There are compounds in cauliflower that help metabolize estrogen.
Benefits of this liver detox soup
Beets are deeply pigmented and full of antioxidants and polyphenols to cleanse the liver. You get the colors of the rainbow in your diet when you eat beets.
Artichoke is fantastic for helping to flush toxins from the liver by promoting bile flow from a sluggish gallbladder. Optimal bile flow and gallbladder function are essential for liver detox. Every liver cleanse should start with opening up phase 3 liver detox, which is optimal bile flow from the gallbladder.
Carrots are rich in carotenoids, which are antioxidants that protect the liver from free radical damage.
Garlic and onion contain sulfur compounds that help to support the sulfation detox pathway in the liver. The sulfation detox pathway is the main pathway for the elimination of steroid and thyroid hormones. Food additives and toxins from the environment are conjugated through the sulfation detox pathway.
These are just some of the benefits of the vegetables found in this liver detox soup. A wide variety of phytonutrients and antioxidants are in these liver cleansing vegetables, which help reduce inflammation and are the cornerstone to an anti-inflammatory diet.
