This soup has lots of veggies in them, and it is packed with lots of fibre which keeps you full for a very long time. So it is good when you are dieting.I made this as a veg version, but will soon share a non veg version of it as well.
Cooking Time: 45 mins
Serves: 6 to 8
Oil - 1 tsp
Onions - 1 medium size chopped finely
Garlic - 4 large cloves chopped finely
Celery - 3 sticks chopped finely
Carrots - 1 large chopped finely
Capsicum / Bell Pepper - ½ chopped fienly
Beans - 5 chopped finely
Cabbage - 3 cups chopped finely
Purple Cabbage - 3 cups chopped finely
Oregano - 1 tblspn
Tomato Puree - 2 cups
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Vegetable Stock or Water - 5 to 6 cups
Cornflour / Cornstarch - 2 tblspn
Water - ¼ cup
Method:
Heat oil in a soup pot. Add in garlic and fry for a min.
Add in onions, capsicum, celery, carrots, beans and saute for 5 mins or so.
Add in cabbage and saute for 5 to 8 mins. till it shrinks.
Now add in water or stock, tomato puree, oregano, salt and pepper and mix well.
Bring it to a boil and simmer for 20 to 30 mins.
Add in cornflour which is mixed with water into this and mix well. Cook till it thickens slightly.
Serve hot.

Hi Arrthi- if you are going for a “diet” – that is a balanced way of intake of food – go with regular exercise (good if you are following one). It would be more beneficial if you avoid completely the “carbs” intake like rice and chapathi and replace with less complex carbs - this will give you a major impact. I followed this for 2 years and lost 40kgs of weight and of course with strenuous exercise. Honestly google something called "PALEO DIET" for best results - to follow "cave mans" diet. Anyways, continue and Keep up the good work!

Hi aarthi instead of simmering it for 30 mins what if I pressure cook for one whistle to retain all the nutrients?
