Vegetable Soup
This is a simple and easy recipe. Usually soup is an appetizer, but I prefer to call it the other way around; to take the edge off hunger. Having a bowl of soup just before dinner; makes us eat less at dinner. I have made this soup 100% fat free and with fresh vegetables. One bowl of this soup gives just 50 cal and it contains a good amount of fiber.
Recipe (2servings): 1 carrot cut into small cubes, green cabbage chopped thin- small piece, 5green beans- chopped, 1 celery stalk- chopped, and 4-5 cloves of garlic mashed. Heat a nonstick cooking pan, spray it with fat free cooking spray and add all the above ingredients and a pinch of salt, sauté for 3-4 minutes. Add fat free chicken or vegetable broth and tomato puree of 1small tomato (keep the tomato in boiling water for a minute, peel off the skin and make puree) let it boil for a minute or two. Add salt and a pinch of black pepper powder, garnish with spring onion. Serve hot.
