Simple Soup

I make soup almost everyday for dinner. Its a very filling and healthy food. You can make it in minutes. If you are trying this soup dont limit yourself to the vegetables that I have given. I even add green lentils and tofu to the soup.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon of butter
  • 1 Medium onion roughly chopped
  • 4 Cups of vegetables, roughly chopped (Carrot, Bellpepper, Zucchini, Broccoli florets, Celery, Cauliflower, Green beans)
  • 6 cups of water or low sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 Tablespoon ground pepper
  • 2 Bay leaves
  • 3 Tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 Tablespoon Corriander powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Cayenne pepper
  • 3 minced garlic cloves
  • Croutons to serve
Directions

Melt the butter in a stockpot. Add the onions and saute for sometime. Add the vegetables and pour in the vegetable stock. Stir in all the other ingredients. The bay leaves gives the soup a flavour. Let the soup boil until the vegetables are cooked. Remove the bay leaves from the soup. Serve hot with the croutons.
