Low fat Vegetable Soup

Many times we feel hungry between our meals. And if we snack or munch this time we do not feel hungry at the time of our regular meals and later our stomach again needs feeding. In the end we end up eating more and nothing is healthy. To avoid such things we can also have fillers like soups and salads.

This is a filler soup that would keep your stomach full and you, healthy.

Ingredients:
10-12 leaves of spinach,
1 carrot,
3″ portion of white pumpkin,
Few florets of cauliflower and broccoli,
A small piece of cabbage,
1 small tomato,
1 tsp butter,
1 heaped tbsp wheat flour,
1/2 cup skimmed milk,
Salt and pepper to taste.

Method:
Blanch all the vegetables with little water and then grind them until smooth along with the water in which they were blanched (stock). If stock is excess then reserve that for later use. Mix together flour and milk to form a smooth paste. Now melt butter in a saucepan and then add the flour and milk mixture to it. Stir continously till it thickens. Then add the vegetable puree, remaining stock or water to get the desired consistency and stir well. Season with salt and pepper and bring to boil. Serve hot.
