Fresh Pears, baby Bok Choy, baby kale, leeks and green onions simmered in freshly made homemade vegetable stock and flavored with garlic and cumin seeds and spiced with some black pepper.
A perfect detox Soup!
One bowl of this Detox Pear Bok Choy Soup made my tummy so happy and made me feel so light and energetic. 🙂
I was trying Detox diet for the first time and I selected Monday for it after fun frolic indulge filled weekend. 🙂 . I have never felt so good before. Detoxing on a regular basis can be really helpful. It just cleanses your body, make you feel light and happy. Makes you feel good about yourself. Also your stomach feel light and not bloated at all.
After my wonderful experience I decided to share my new created Detox Pear Bok Choy Soup recipe with you all. 🙂
For the past few days I have been wondering about cooking the fruit Pear into a soup. I know it sounds little weird but I wanted to create a unique soup recipe before the winter is over. While walking through the fresh produce section of my local grocery store my eyes caught the sight of leeks and baby Bok Choy and immediately the combinations of soup started falling into place in my mind. I always keep kale in my refrigerator because of its health benefits and me being completely focused into healthy eating most of the greens are always in abundance in my refrigerator. 🙂
Finally, I combined the ingredients into this Detox Soup and took a first spoonful of it. WOW! It felt so good and tasted so delicious!! I can’t wait to try some more detox recipes again next time and feel good about myself. 🙂
