Low Calorie Yummy Veggie Soup

Makes 10 or more servings of about 40 calories each (24 cals if you manage to use no oil).  It's really high in fibre and low in fat, so if you are a Weight Watchers person, this is zero points.

I change the flavour of this every time I make it. Depending on the spices, it can be Thai (add a package of red thai curry paste), Indian (add indian spices), Mexican (add can of crushed tomatoes and chipotle peppers), or just a plain veggie soup.

Ingredients

2 onions
1/2 stalk celery
1/2 garlic, pod
3 carrots
1 cup green beans
1 zucchini, chopped any way you like
1/4 cabbage, head
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/8 cup Brags or tamari or soy sauce
2 bouillon cubes
10 cups water
1 tbsp Olive Oil

Directions

1. Stir fry onions in as little oil as you can (I use 1 Tbsp olive oil)
   
   
2. When onions are translucent, add celery and garlic. Stir fry a few more minutes
   
   
3. Add 8 to 10 cups water
   
   
4. Add broth cubes (I use chicken broth, I usually add 2 cubes)
   
   
5. Add a generous squeeze of Brags Sauce (I'd guess it would be 1/8 cup)
   
   
6. Add turmeric
   
   
7. Add all the rest of your veggies
   
   
8. Simmer 10 minutes or so.

Hello Shanasedai,  quick question.  Is there a total of 1 tsp of turmeric powder?  1/2 tsp is listed twice.  Sounds like an adaptable recipe.

Hi Saudiev

It's 1/2 tsp turmeric.

Thanks for noticing that!  I didn't even notice that my ingredients were line-wrapping.

Thanks, Shana!  I am glad it's only 1/2...I love turmeric, but a little goes a long way!  Can't wait to try it out.

So true!  I once ruined a curry dish because my daughter was bouncing around while I was cooking and she knocked the jar out of my hands and into my curry.  Hope you like the soup :)

Shana

It sounds great! I'm going to try it very soon!

another yummy recipe! thanks!
