Instructions

Place all the ingredients into a very large stock pot (at least a 10-quart stock pot) except the baby potatoes. Bring to a boil then lower the heat to medium-low and cook for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, add the quartered baby potatoes and cook over medium-low heat for an hour.
Occasionally stir and check the tenderness of the baby potatoes and lentils. Once all the vegetables, baby potatoes and lentils are tender, taste the broth flavor, add more spices as needed, discard the bay leaf before serving.
Yields 1.5 gallons of detox soup.

Notes

*Simmer: Simmer on low. Be carful not cook the soup at a high temperature or the beans may burst and disintegrate.

*Storage: Cool to warm, store in plastic or glass containers and refrigerate. Freezes well. If freezing, place in plastic containers, allowing head space, and freeze up to 6 months.

*Vegetable Broth: We used Pacific Organic Vegetable Broth because it does not have MSG, and has no highly processed ingredients; however, Pacific has a very strong flavor so our water to broth ratio is heavy on the water and low on the vegetable broth. If you are using a vegetable broth other than Pacific, please adjust the water to broth ratio accordingly.
