Potassium Broth

Fasting support - Start your day with a big mug of hot potassium broth--a cleansing, alkalizing and mineral-rich drink.

Potassium Broth Recipe
• To 1 1/2 quarts of water add
• 2 large potatoes, chopped or sliced to approx. 1/2 inch slices
• 1 cup carrots, shredded or sliced
• 1 cup celery, chopped or shredded, leaves and all
• Some beet tops, turnip tops, parsley, onion or whatever you have from the garden (or whatever is in season at the store)
• Add some fresh herbs: Cilantro, parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme & garlic all antibacterial and antiviral!
• I also add a touch of red pepper flakes
• Sometimes I add a teaspoon of Miso or Bragg’s Amino after straining off the liquid for some extra flavor.

Cover and cook slowly for about 1/2 hour using only stainless steel, glass or earthenware utensils. Strain the broth off and cool. Serve warm or cold. If not used immediately, keep in refrigerator and warm up before serving. Makes about 3 servings.

As the weather turns colder, it's important to keep the digestive fires burning, says Vukovic, who recommends hot broths made from root vegetables, winter squash and miso for autumn cleansing. For a cozy touch, add warming herbs such as ginger and garlic to a tonic soup. Try to limit the cold juices you drink during a fall cleanse, as they tend to cool the body and might give you the shivers. Enjoy!
