1 Tablespoon red wine vinegar

Instructions

Place all ingredients in the crockpot.
Cover and cook on high for 5-6 hours or low for 7-8 hours.
Place about 4 cups of soup in a blender or use an immersion blender(do not blend entire crockpot; instead blend for only a few minutes to keep half the soup chunky)
Pulse gently until semi-smooth and creamy-looking.
Add back to the crockpot and stir to combine.
Stir in the kale and parsley.
Turn the heat off and allow to sit for 10 minutes before serving.
The taste gets better with time.
Add red wine vinegar before serving if you like a little tang. ????

Notes

Throughout the year, I also like to make soups, as well as salads and main dishes which contain cruciferous vegetables and leafy greens. Detox Lentil Vegetable Soup, for example, contains a combination of detoxifying vegetables with an organic vegetable broth. For this particular batch, I used celery, carrots, garlic, onion, spinach, ginger, and turmeric. As a result, each vegetable chose contributes to detoxification.
