Cleansing Soup with Chicken & Bone Broth

By Dr. Josh Axe

February 10, 2023

In my recent book Ancient Remedies, I include many recipes loaded with ancient nutrients that can help make you healthier the old-fashioned way: through food!

In this full-flavored, high-protein cleansing soup recipe, the nutrition facts (see below) are off the charts. You get a whopping 49 grams of protein per serving and more than 20 percent daily value of a dozen vitamins and minerals.

When you're looking for how to detox your body, cleansing soups are a great way to start because you can load up on detoxifying ingredients while also achieving satiety. (If you're interested in a full two-week program about detoxing, check out our Super Greens Detox.)

One key ingredient in this cleansing, detox soup is Bone Broth Protein, which offers the inherent benefits of collagen type II (which, in turn, naturally features glucosamine, chondroitin and hyaluronic acid) plus 19 amino acids all rolled up in our chicken-based line. Bone Broth Protein also features 20 grams of protein per serving.

Nutrition Facts

Looking for a high-protein soup with detoxifying nutrients? You've hit the jackpot with this one, as it boasts 49 grams of protein next to just 15 grams of carbohydrates and 7 grams of fat. Because of that, it may be best served with a slice of crusty bread for a satisfying lunch. It also pairs well with our kale quinoa cakes.

Nutrient-wise, get ready. Each serving is high in vitamin A, most B vitamins and many minerals. It's like a multivitamin soup!

How to Make This Detox Soup

While this recipe includes many ingredients, it's refreshingly easy to make. First, get out the spices and prep all the veggies to make this go smoothly. That includes chopping the onion, celery stalks and carrots (after peeling them). Also grate the fresh ginger.

For the chicken breast, cut it into bite-size pieces.

Now that that's done, heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium heat, then add the onion, celery, carrots and chicken and cook, stirring often, for 5 to 8 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.

Mix the Bone Broth Protein with water, well, and then add to the pot alongside the grated ginger, miso, apple cider vinegar (try our Herbal Cider Vinegar for even more benefits), turmeric and salt and stir well.

Cover, increase the heat to medium-high, and bring the soup to a boil.

Stir in the peas. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
