Vegetable Soup Is Excellent Diet Food

Thick Vegetable Soup, meaning a soup without straining the vegetable, makes an excellent Diet food.

Leafy vegetables like Spinach make the ideal soup in this category.

Cook chopped leafy vegetables in a pressure cook with a few cloves of garlic and some water, until done. Tomatoes and carrots may be added for improved taste.

Run the cooked vegetable through a mixie to make a thin paste.

Season with salt, dhana-jeera (coriander-cumin) powder.

This Soup may be eaten both, hot or cold, according to taste.

It is quite nutritious, even though some vitamins are admittedly lost, through cooking.

However, the proteins are intact and not all the vitamins are burnt out.

This Soup may be had before a meal, when it fills the Stomach and therefore reduces hunger.

If a person is actively dieting, this Soup can substitute for an entire meal, without any trouble at all!
