Vegetable soups are probably the backbone of every weight-loss program. They’re full of vegetables and make a good meal starter or snack option. However, this doesn’t mean they have to be watery guck… at least not if you stick to this recipe:
In a pot, add Fry Light spray, leeks, onions and garlic and stir fry them for a few minutes. Then add your chopped vegetables of choice, 1 stock cube, and hot water. Pour in enough water to cover the vegetables. Leave this on a low fire until the vegetables are soft. Once it has slightly cooled down, blend the mixture. If the consistency is too thick, just add more hot water.
Combinations which I love include:
- Broccoli and cauliflower
- Tomato and red pepper (use tinned toms rather than fresh
- Butternut squash and swede (my ultimate favorite)
- Mushroom
- Carrot and rosemary
You can also change the flavor around by using different flavored stock cubes or adding in black peppercorns and various herbs such as coriander, oregano, parsley, etc.
That butternut squash and swede soup sounds great! What recipe do you use?
It’s really basic..stir fry garlic and leeks till translucent, add peeled & chopped BNS and squash…cover with veggie broth, bring to a boil and then simmer till the veggies have softened! Once the veggies have cooled, blend away!
I was looking for a good soup recipe and I finally found one! Excellent combo of ingredients which I absolutely love!
Hope you enjoy it Agness!
