What makes this soup a detox soup?
I don't like to feed into diet culture and my intentions with this post isn't to promote any diet detoxes. Our bodies have a natural detoxification process and having certain foods helps to aid this process. The vegetables are actually a key reason why this soup is so detoxifying! Vegetable soups are one of the foods that help to naturally detoxify the body while giving the body the nutrients it needs.
Storing and reheating
To store this soup, wait for it to cool down to room temperature and then transfer it into individual servings in airtight containers or mason jars (for easy reheating). Store your soup in the fridge for up to five days.
You can reheat the individual servings in the microwave for a couple of minutes until fully warmed. Or, to limit the use of your microwave, transfer it to a pot on the stove top.
Freezing this soup
Though you can freeze this soup, I don't entirely recommend it. Some of the veggies tend to lose their crunch and it will be a different texture than when it's freshly made. If you do choose to freeze this dish and would like to prepare this recipe as a freezer meal, transfer the cool soup to a freezer-safe container or in freezer bags. You can also add the leftovers to small glass bowls to make individual servings.
It will keep well in the freezer for up to four months. If in bowls, you can defrost and reheat right in the microwave up to 7-8 minutes, stirring partway through. Otherwise, move the soup to the fridge the night before then heat using the microwave or stove once it has thawed out.

- 4 cloves garlic minced

Instant Pot will take about 10 minutes to pre-heat and then the 2 minutes to cook. When complete, press cancel and do a quick release of the steam, waiting until the pressure gauge drops back down and the lid is safe to open.
