Easy Vegetable Soup

I was feeling quite sad thinking I many not be able to take part in Meeta's Monthly Mingle - Liquid Dreams, since I did not have a fancy and pretty glass to photograph. (Yes, I can be quite silly at times). Anyway, there I was, mainly thinking of other events and trying to figure out when to cook what.

That's when it suddenly struck me that I need not make something that should necessarily go into a fancy glass. I can make something nice and hot, and simple too.

So here is my simple veggie soup, that comes to my rescue when I have left over vegetables, when I am too lazy to cook, and when I feel I should have something light and healthy yet filling.


What I Used:

Veggies
Carrots - 1 medium
Beans - 6
White cabbage - a small piece
Green chillies - 2
Spring Onions - 2 stalks

Cornflour - 1 tbsp
Garlic cloves - 8
Water - as needed
Salt - to taste
Soya sauce - one tsp

How I Made It:

1.Cut all the vegetables in tiny pieces, add sufficient water (approx. 1 cup) and boil till its cooked.

2. Once the veggies are done, keep the pan open and bring to boil on sim. Mix the cornflour with some water and add to this. Chop the garlic in tiny pieces and add to the mixture at this point.

3. Bring to boil, adjusting the water consistency. Add salt just before removing from fire.

4. Serve hot, mixed with soya sauce (I love the sour flavour it gives out)

I know this recipe seems very crude but I am always satisfied after a bowl of this. I know many of you out there are seasoned cooks, so all suggestions to make this better, is welcome (with more or less the same ingredients, please) :)




My humble contribution to this month's Monthly Mingle and to Super Soup Challenge.

  3. Nags - you won't believe it but my sister makes a soup like this regularly! Only difference is that she opens up a miso soup pouch into it so there's no need to thicken it. All very healthy...
