Okay Peeps, time to detox!

If you are like me you stumbled upon 1 or 2 (okay MAYBE a few more) pieces of Halloween candy, treats, and goodies. I have been feeling sluggish and yucky for days now - so, time to detox :-). This is a great quick & easy soup (and I mean EASY) that can be kept on the stove all day (just nibble at when needed) or can be served as a meal. I buy almost everything needed for this already cleaned, cut and diced so I can make it in literally 3 minutes.

After a few days of some clean cleansing you will be feeling back to your old self! That feeling can't come soon enough for me, ugh!

Detoxifying Veggie Soup (makes 2 servings)

4 cups vegetable (low sodium, organic) stock
1 celery rib (diced)
1 cup diced carrots
1 cup mushrooms of your choice (I prefer just a nice button mushroom in this)
1 medium sized shallot (diced)
1/2 cup cubed "light" tofu (cube small)
2 bay leaves or 1 tbsp. Braggs seasoning (fab stuff, use it all the time!)

Put it all in the pot, cover and simmer until cooked - don't over boil, just let the flavors melt together in the pot. I like to serve with a little fresh parsley or cilantro on top. You will feel so much better after a day of this healthy soup! Hooray for cleansing!
