Whether you are trying to lose weight or just trying to eat a little healthier, this Healthy Detox Vegetable Soup is for you!
I’ve been making this soup for quite a few years now. My brother once referred to it as “dang hippie food” and the name just stuck. We’ve been calling it that now for a long time, but to you it can just be the most delicious healthy detox vegetable soup ever. No meat, tons of veggies, and everything in it is good for your body!
This soup is an all time favorite. I am absolutely in love with the flavor of this soup. It’s hearty, filling, and super flavorful. Not to mention it’s low in calories, low fat, has no cholesterol, and has 15 grams of protein and 12 grams of fiber per serving. What more could you want?
I don’t really believe in dieting. Been there, done that, didn’t work out well. What I do believe in is a healthy lifestyle that is all about balance. To me, eating healthy isn’t about starving yourself on a diet. I eat the stuff that is good for me because it makes my body feel good. I weigh what I weigh and I love my body. I love every scar, stretch mark, and wrinkle. Because I love my body I also like to fuel it with good stuff. I mean, I also fuel it with cake, but the good stuff like fruits and vegetables far outweigh it.

I made this for dinner a few nights ago, paired with salad. I was hesitant, to be honest, because “detox” has a negative connotation for me. It usally indicates the recipe may lack flavor or be diet-y. However I wanted to try it because it is healthy and has a ton of veggies that my family and I love. Boy, were my expectations blown away tenfold! I followed the recipe exactly, except I used Bush’s seasoned black beans rather than plain black beans (it’s what I had on hand). I still drained and rinsed them as instructed, so I doubt the flavor was altered much with additional seasoning. This soup is so incredibly savory! The little bit of soy sauce (I used low sodium soy sauce) and the toasted spices balance the sweet potato perfectly. This recipe is deceptively simple because the flavor is very complex and satisfying. I’ve been enjoying it for lunch the last several days and it just seems to get better. Thanks for another knock-out recipe. Your recipes have continued to inspire me to make yummy meals at home! p.s. this was just as much of a hit with my husband and three teenagers.
We’re eating this Soup right now and it is so yummy. We added Corn Chips and love this recipe, Thank You
We love to make vegetable soups like this when we have extra produce. I think we’ll definitely have to add some black beans next time, that’s a great idea!
I added a jalapeño pepper!! Delicious!
This sounds delicious! Do you have nutritional facts for this recipe?
I do not publish nutritional facts as anything I can give you will just run through an online calculator (which are usually quite inaccurate). I’m not a certified nutritionist.
do you no how many calories
I’m not big into providing calorie information. It’s easy to run recipes through nutrition calculators, but they are rarely accurate, particularly in cases like this where ingredient amounts will actually vary, even when following the instructions. Calories are just calories. When I examine a recipe for nutrition I look at whether or not each ingredient is good for my body and focus less on the actual caloric intake. It’s something I feel rather strongly about since so many people end up starving themselves on a low calorie diet.
January favourite ! Thank you and have a pleasant day !
Any idea how many calories per serving?

Where did you get the bowl? I love it! I totally want it.
I actually got it at a thrift store. I always find the most interesting dishes and props at thrift stores.
This was delicious. I did add 2 extra cups of broth and some baby power greens wilted in at the last minute. This is a keeper!
Dang Hippie Soup sounds luscious but at what point do you add the sweet potatoes?
Ack! I hate it when that happens. It has been updated. As much as I hate it, I love it when someone catches it because it means they are reading through the entire recipe and paying attention and that means something to me 🙂
