As Seen On

Detoxing involves refraining from foods for a certain amount of time to remove toxic or unhealthy materials from the body. Chicken Detox Soup is the perfect soup to eat to detoxify your body. It's filled with healthy ingredients that will get rid of unhealthy substances in the body. For example, it contains garlic which is a great source of allicin. Allicin encourages the generation of white blood cells and plays a role in fighting toxins in the body. The soup also contains carrot, the antioxidant carotenoids that help detoxify the body, and broccoli, a substance called glucoraphanin that rids the body of harmful chemicals like acrolein and benzene. Best of all, not only is this chicken detox soup good for you, but it also tastes delicious. So, whether you are feeling unwell, want to boost your immunity, or lose a few pounds, pull out your largest soup pot and make this chicken detox soup.
