Zucchini have a mild liver-purging effect, allowing the liver to squeeze out poisonous troublemakers safely. It’s also soothing to the intestinal tract walls, pushing out pathogens such as bacteria and fungus, allowing for better absorption of nutrients that can be sent up to the liver.

Zucchini Lasagna Soup

Ingredients:

Soup:

• 1 cup diced onion
• 6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 2 tbsps tomato paste
• 5 cups Healing Broth or water
• 3 cups jarred crushed tomatoes or 4 cups diced fresh tomatoes
• ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-free and salt-free)
• 1 tbsp dried oregano
• 2 tsps dried basil
• ½ tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 medium zucchini, cut into ribbons with a vegetable peeler
• ½ cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves, to serve

Potato cheese:

• 2 cups finely diced potatoes
• 2 tbsps onion powder
• 2 tsps garlic powder

Mushroom mince:

• 4 cups finely diced mushrooms* 
• ½ tsp garlic powder 
• ½ tsp onion powder 
• ½ tsp paprika 
• 2 tbsps tomato paste 
• 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

Directions:

Place a ceramic nonstick soup pot on medium-high heat. Add a small splash of water, then add the onion and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook for a further 2 to 3 minutes until the tomato paste starts to caramelize and turns a darker color.

Add the Healing Broth or water, crushed and sun-dried tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 20 to 30 minutes.

While the soup is cooking, add 3 inches of water to a medium pot, insert a steaming basket, add the potatoes, and cover. Steam the potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes until soft. Remove the potatoes and place them in a blender or food processor together with the onion powder and garlic powder. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Set aside.

To make the mushroom mince, place a ceramic nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Add the diced mushrooms and cook for 5 to 8 minutes until soft. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, tomato paste, and lemon juice and cook for a further 1 to 2 minutes until all the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms are browned.

Add the zucchini ribbons to the soup and continue cooking for 3 to 5 minutes until soft.

Divide soup between two bowls and top with the potato cheese, mushroom mince, and fresh basil. Serve immediately.

*For the mushrooms, wash and rinse thoroughly with warm to hot water before dicing. Do not use slimy or decaying mushrooms. That’s a sign of oxidizing and aging.

Tips:

• When you’re choosing between Healing Broth and water for the ingredients, keep in mind that the broth will produce a richer flavor. Store-bought vegetable stock isn’t called for because it’s very difficult to find a variety that’s free of oil, salt, natural flavors, and/or other additives. For convenience, make a batch of Healing Broth in advance and freeze it (consider pouring into ice cube trays for easy thawing) so you have it on hand for recipes like this.
• Look for a tomato paste that contains only tomatoes and no other ingredients, such as salt or citric acid.
