FAQs
Can I make in this soup in the Instant Pot or a slow cooker?
Yes!! I have tested both a version and both turned out delicious. See in the recipe card for the instructions on how to make in this in both the Instant Pot and slow cooker.
Can I swap out the veggies?
The best thing about in this soup is that you can be a customize it based on what you have in your kitchen or what you are craving! Feel free to the swap or add in a vegetables to this soup. You really can not go wrong! Cabbage or a broccoli would be a delicious additions. You can be also swap out in the curly kale with a different green. I recommend using to a sturdier green like a Swiss chard or lamination kale so it does not get too wilted.
Can I make this soup vegan?
Yes! To make in this soup vegan, swap in the chicken with a 1-2 cans of the chickpeas or white beans. Just add in the beans in when you would add in the chicken. Tofu or a temp eh would also be a good plant-based substitute, I just recommend cooking it is a separately and adding it in at the end instead of the earlier on during cooking.
Can I skip the cilantro?
Totally! I love cilantro but if you are not a cilantro fan, parsley would be a delicious as a well!
What if I don’t have fresh ginger or turmeric?
If you can not find fresh turmeric or a ginger, use a 2 teaspoons dried turmeric powder and 1 teaspoon dried ginger powder.
Can I skip the tamari?
Yes, if you don’t have tamarind, soy sauce or coconut amines on a hand feel free to skip it. I love the umami flavor it adds to this soup, but it is a still delicious without.
Can I skip the coconut milk?
The coconut milk adds a nice creaminess and delicious flavor, but if you do not have it on hand you can skip this or use a unsweetened almond milk or cashew milk instead. It might change in the flavor a bit, but it should still add some creaminess. If you skip in the milk all together, make sure to the add more broth in its place!
How to Serve Detox Soup
What I love about soup is that it can be a meal in one! If you are a volume eater or a want to the pair this soup side dishes, here is what I recommend serving to a bowl of the soup with:
Almond flour crackers – if you are a fan of the having a crackers with your soup, you need to try making my homemade crackers. They are easier than you might think.
Sourdough bread – a slice of the fresh warm or a toasted bread would pair perfectly with in this soup.
Strawberry salad or spinach salad – if you love having hot and cool ingredients together, you might want to the add a simple side salad to your meal!
