    This cleansing paleo Thai Inspired Vegetable Chicken Detox Soup features a balanced flavor profile and is packed with nutrition.

    Thai Chicken Soup

    After all the making merry that goes on during the holiday season, most of us could probably use a little TLC in the form of nutrition.

    After even just a couple days of less conscious eating (read: junk food indulging!) I find that I’m noticeably less energetic, more bloated, and less able to focus.

    Paleo Chicken and Vegetable Soup

    I don’t like to beat myself up over it, because that just leads to a bad relationship with food. And let’s be honest, ain’t nobody got time for that.

    But I do like to make it up to myself by putting extra effort into my nutrition in the following week or two.

    Salads are an easy surefire way to pack in loads of nutrient-dense foods! However, in the winter months I need something warming. Soup is an equally fabulous method for loading up on healthy foods.

    Thai Inspiration for This Soup

    This soup uses a few Thai ingredients to give it a balanced flavor profile. Coconut cream adds subtle natural sweetness. Coconut aminos (or soy sauce if you prefer) lends saltiness. Fish sauce gives an umami flavor. And apple cider vinegar and fresh lime bring tartness.

    The resulting flavor profile is very well balanced, and this soup has a rich heartiness without being overly heavy.

    Vegetable Chicken Detox Soup

    One of the things I love most about soup (and salad, for that matter) is the fact that it’s a great way to clean out the fridge. Any veggie you have on hand is likely to work!

    That was definitely the case here too. I utilized what I had on hand, but I was a little more methodical than just tossing everything into a pot and hoping for the best.

    With this recipe, I chose ingredients that would pack a huge punch when it comes to detox!

    Detox Soup

    Let’s talk for a quick minute about the components of this soup.

    • Carrots are rich in glutathione, which is a powerful antioxidant and is important in immune function. (Everyday Health)
    • Tomatoes are a good source of lycopene that helps the body flush out free radicals. (Waller Wellness Center)
    • Garlic is high in vitamin C and helps support liver function. (LIVESTRONG)
    • Organic raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar helps to alkalize the body (Healthy Bliss) and can help the body absorb minerals from foods like leafy greens (David Wolfe).
    • Turmeric contains curcumin which stimulates the gallbladder to produce bile, which the liver uses to remove toxins (and heads-up, don’t skip the black pepper in this recipe because it helps the body absorb turmeric!). (LIVESTRONG)
    • Parsley acts as a diuretic, helping the body to naturally reduce bloating. (Step to Health)
    • Cilantro helps remove heavy metals from the body. (Underground Health Reporter)
    • Coconut oil helps your body absorb the vitamins in the veggies. (Mercola)
    • And let’s not forget that this soup is full of fiber to help your body eliminate waste!

      Just beautiful styling and those bowls are killer. The soup too of course, but you know! What do the coconut aminos do exactly? Thanks Faith. :)

        Kevin, Thanks so much! I got those bowls at an outdoor bazaar-type market in Kuwait from an Iranian vendor; they are some of my favorite pieces from there. :) The coconut aminos is basically a paleo-friendly version of soy or tamari sauce, so if that's what you have on hand, it's fine to substitute. Hope the new year is off to a great start for you, my friend!
