Tomato soup recipe

Hello everyone,

Vegetable Soups are my favorite especially the tomato soup. My family is also a big fan of this one.  It's filled with the goodness of tomatoes and other ingredients which I always include.

Tomato Soup Recipe

Here is my recipe for tomato soup which you can also relish:


Ingredients: 7-8 red and ripe tomatoes, 3-4 carrots, some french beans, few leaves of cabbage, and ginger (optional).
Salt, black pepper powder, butter, sugar, coriander leaves for garnishing.


Kids would never come to know that you have added so many veggies to the tomato soup! Add these along with tomatoes and provide your family with the maximum advantage of vegetables.

 Method:

Wash all the vegetables. Peel off the carrots and cut them roughly. Now cut all the vegetables into large pieces and place them in a cooker. Put half a cup of water, one small spoon of salt, and place the lid. Boil them for some time. After 3-4 minutes of one whistle of the cooker, switch off the flame.

store soup in a glass jar and freeze



Now let the vegetables cool down. Make a puree of the boiled vegetables in a mixer/ food processor and strain them. Now you get a thick paste that you can either use to prepare soup or store in a glass jar and freeze for future use.      

                                 
In a pan, put some thick paste of soup and some water. Add some sugar and black pepper powder according to your taste. ( Note: I prefer a sweet-salty taste so I have added some sugar. In case you like the tangy flavor, then do not use sugar.) Bring it to a boil and then serve in a soup bowl. Do not forget to add some cubes of butter ( avoid butter if you wish to lose weight) and leaves of coriander.

Serve the yummy tomato soup quickly and enjoy it with your family in winter evenings.

Hot and sour soup

This Chinese soup finds a place at every dinner table. Loaded with lots of seasonal veggies and Chinese sauces, the hot and sour soup is perfect for winter evenings when you need some extra energy and enthusiasm to go on.

You may prepare it without using oil and butter to cut down the calories. Though this recipe is originally high on spices, you may alter according to your taste and restrict chilies or chili sauce to suit your taste buds.


Veg, Talumein Soup


Another Chinese soup which is filled with lots of vegetables, spices, and sauces! What sets it apart from other soups is the use of noodles. Kids love to eat and drink the soup because of noodles.
If your kids are fussy eaters then make this soup and they would start asking for more. It iS a great way to make kids eat vegetables.

The biggest advantage of making Talumein soup at home is that you may delete certain ingredients such as chili sauce and chili oil which make the extra spicy. This is not possible with pre-packed soups wherein the spices and flavor are innate.

Lentil soup with vegetables               


To get enough of proteins along with other nutrients, try the lentil soup. Use one lentil or combination of two lentils to make this soup and add vegetables to it. You can add herbs such as parsley and mint to enhance the flavor and nutritional value. The result is a healthy and satisfying meal for dinner.
