Metal Clearing Alkaline Broth Soup

2 large sweet potatoes (high in beta carotene, alkaline)
2 large onions (liver support, antibacterial)
4 medium carrots (high in beta carotene and potassium, alkaline)
3 celery stalks (alkaline, high in sodium)
1 bunch parsley (kidney cleanser)
2 cups organic spinach (rich in minerals)
2 cups cilantro (pulls out heavy metals)
4 large cloves garlic (liver support, antibacterial)
4 liters/quarts filtered water (plus 4 more later)
2 tbsp. turmeric (liver support, anti-inflammatory)
1 tbsp. dulse powder (rich in minerals, alkaline, restores thyroid)
1 tsp. cayenne (increases circulation)
brown rice miso (or freshly ground flaxseeds if intolerant)

Chop vegetables (I ran them all through my food processor one after another with either the slicer blade or the multi-purpose blade where appropriate). Fill a large soup pot with water and add veggies. Mix in turmeric, dulse and cayenne. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Pour through a strainer into another pot. Compost the veg and keep the broth, or freeze the veg and add them to another soup at a later date.
Three times a day (say 8am, noon, and 5pm), in a large mug or bowl, measure out 1/4 cup of cooled broth and mix with 2 tsp. of miso (if you do not tolerate miso, or have a problem with candadiasis, substitute fresh ground flaxseeds for miso). Add an additional 1 - 1 1/4 cups broth and add an equal amount of just-boiled water (1 1/4 - 1 1/2 cups). Drink up!
The soup should keep refrigerated for 4 days. Freeze any extra in half-full glass jars.
After your liquid fast, continue to consume the soup a few times a week, with the veg included, for another month to help with metal detoxification.
