Vegetable Soup Recipe

A bowl of delicious and yummy vegetable soup is a perfect and amazing way to consume some vegetables. This steamy vegetable soup is full of fresh and flavorful vegetables. It is not just easy but also a quick and vegan recipe. Keep warm yourself with this soup on a cold day. This soup is a great way to lighten up heavier meals.

Choose your favourite veggies and add to make it more healthy and nutritious. I have added here cabbage, carrot, peas, corn, spring onion and beans. You can add any vegetable you like to get your desired taste. You can add mushroom, broccoli, capsicum, spinach and cauliflower. The vegetables used in this recipe, should be finely chopped. The flour like corn flour or arrowroot is added to thicken soup. When you add corn starch, keep in mind that the consistency should be thicker than water, but not thick like puree kind soup. Addition of ginger, garlic and black pepper makes it more flavourful. You can add herbs and spices as per your taste. It should be slightly thick.

It can be served as a starter or appetizer before meal. It should be served warm otherwise it would not give taste better. So ladle up your servings while the soup is nice and hot, garnished with extra green onions.
