So here is my simple veggie soup, that comes to my rescue when I have left over vegetables, when I am too lazy to cook, and when I feel I should have something light and healthy yet filling.
Making a soup with vegetables, needless to say, is a great way to get kids and adults alike to consume vegetables. According to the rainbow diet, the more variety in colours your vegetables have, the better its nutritious value. While I am not a fan of just soup for a meal, paired with some toasted bread, it’s quite filling and sets you up to tackle the rest of the day.
