Happy New year everyone . Hope you all had a great holiday. It’s been almost 10 days that I have shared something. I was super busy enjoying the holidays, meeting family and friends , spending time shopping shopping and more shopping, needless to mention feasting on gorgeous foods day and night especially sweets. So I thought now is the time to go simple . So made this quick and easy garden vegetable soup (vegan and GF) which is soul satisfying and light on the tummy. This soup is thick and creamy without the addition of any flours or cream. Its vegan and gluten free too. The preparation time is less than 10 minutes and rest is simmering . So if you are still in the holiday mood and do not want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen , you might want to try it. I grew up having this simple earthy soup . Being fussy eaters, my mom used to make it for us most of the times. Believe it or not I love to have this soup with rice. Sounds weird according to my husband , but I like it. The best part of this soup is that it is not chunky and you can hide all the vegetables keeping the nutritional factor intact. . So win win if you have picky eaters at home. This soup is so much more than the classic tomato soup . More variety means more nutrition . And a good way to use leftover veggies lurking in you refrigerator . What is this soup made The goodness of carrots, tomatoes, onions , bottle gourd lightly and cauliflower seasoned with herbs and spices makes it soothing and perfect for cold winter evenings .To make it more exciting and healthy, I have skipped the croutons and topped it with quick pan roasted sweet corn and lima beans and baby radish for extra crunch. A quick tip – There is nothing right or wrong about this soup.It’s absolutely versatile and you can use preferred veggies and herbs. Use veggies that you can easily hide in this soup , the ones your family doesn’t like to have and the ones you would like to include more in your diet.
I won’t say it makes up an entire meal , but if you have 2 bowls of this garden vegetable soup , you are sure to keep fuller for a long time. This soup makes a great side with a light meal, in fact a delicious start to a meal. It makes a good light snack between meals , great for evening hunger pangs. It freezes beautifully . So make sure to whip up a big batch and enjoy it on hectic days . Garden vegetable soup makes a great lunch box too.
