Carrots get a bad reputation because of their high sugar content, but did you know that they produce falcarinol, which is shown to reduce your risk of cancer? They are also known to slow down ageing and make your skin glow and look healthier with their high levels of beta-carotene. And, of course, they are rich in vitamin A, which is good for your vision. That said, we love this soup mostly because of how delicious it is. It's the best, creamiest carrot soup you've ever tasted.

If you include it as a meal in your cleanse, choose a broth for your afternoon snack instead of a fruit- based soup.

If you want to make it with your own roasted vegetable stock you’ll find the recipe for that here.
