Vegetable Soup

A fresh bowl of soup is something for which I can skip my regular meals and just gorge myself with it, be it any time of year and day. This Soup is very healthy apart from the fact that it has white sauce made up of Refined flour which is soooo not healthy. (but you can also prepare white sauce with wheat flour)
The soup was ready in twenty minutes, and I must admit that the outcome was a delicious. 
Make a bowl for you and savour the warmth in the cold winter or on a gloomy rainy day...

you will need:-
Finely chopped Cabbage - 1 cup
Finely chopped Onion - 1 medium
Finely chopped Tomato- 1 medium
Finely chopped Carrots - 1/4 cup
Finely Chopped French Beans - 1/4 cup
Finely chopped Capsicum - 1/4 cup
Corn Kernels slightly crushed - 1/4 cup
Grens Peas slightly crushed - 1/4 cup
White sauce - 1/2 bowl ( small)
Crushed Garlic - 1 tsp.
Salt as reqd.
Pepper as reqd.

In a vessel, take about 2 cups of water and add little salt.(Salt will help the veggies cook faster) Now add all the vegetables one by one including onion, tomatoes and garlic. Let the mixture boil for about 7-8 minutes or till the vegetables are just about cooked. I actually like a little crunch to my vegetables in my soup, the crunch acts as croutons for me. 


Now add the white sauce gradually stirring the soup continuously till you get the exact consistency of the soup. Let it boil for 3-4 minutes. Adjust the seasonings. The Vegetable soup is ready to serve.

 
Note:- To make this soup more nutritious and healthy, just add the raw Spinach paste/puree as a base along with water.
