Clear Veg Soup

Here is a simple easy to do recipe for making restaurant quality healthy homemade clear vegetable soup. If you wish to have something apart from regular salads, you can have this soup which almost gives you similar benefits. You can serve this soup along with grilled meat which your kids will love it and so gives them minimum required daily intake of vegetables.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup - Sweet corn
1/2 cup - French Beans chopped
1/2 cup - Carrots finely chopped
5 cloves - Garlic finely chopped
3 tbsp - Corn flour


1/4 - 1/2 tsp - Pepper powder (as per your choice)
1 tbsp - Butter
1/4 - Ajinomoto (also called Chinese Tasting Salt or MSG  - which is optional)
2 1/2 cups - Water
Salt to taste

Tip: We hinted few choice of vegetables you can use to make this soup. But in reality you can experiment and add any vegetables of your choice like Mushrooms, Cabbage and so on. But make sure the overall quantity of the vegetables are proportional with respect to other ingredients we need to add.

Gently fry the vegetables with butter for couple of minutes. Make sure you do not over fry. Add salt and pepper powder and stir the contents before adding water.

Take a small bowl and add corn flour and stir it with your finger so that it does not form lumps. Once it is done, add this mixture into the soup pan as well pour the remaining water into it. Now you can add Ajinomoto in it if you wish.

Simmer the flame and bring it to a boil. Make sure you stir the contents once in a while so that corn flour will not settle down and form lumps.

Gradually you can increase to medium flame and boil it for around 4-5 minutes.

Tip: Please select a large pan as we used so that when the soup is boiling it will not raise up and spill out.

You can now turn the flame off and transfer the hot soup into a serving bowl !
