Things to add at the end:

- Fresh Kale: 2 cups (finely chopped)
- Parsley: 1 cup (chopped)
- Olive oil or rosemary oil: ½ cup
- Red wine vinegar or lemon juice for little tangy taste
Directions:
Take a crockpot and place all the ingredients in it. Cover the pot and cook for 7-8 hours, if you are cooking on low heat and 5 hours, if you are cooking on high heat.
Now in a blender, place 4 cups of soup with olive oil or whatever oil you are using and start the blender. Blend until you get the creamy and semi-smooth mixture. Add this soup back to the crockpot and mix well with remaining left mixture. Add parsley and kale and stir well. Turn the heat off and let the mixture chill for some time. Serve this soup chill for better taste and delicious texture.
When serving, season the soup with sherry, lemon juice and vinegar and sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve with crusty wheat bread. This is actually the perfect and balanced detox soup. Enjoy!
