Red lentil and mixed veg soup, very delicious and healthy soup

June 24, 2017 By admin Leave a Comment

Red lentil and mixed veg soup! It must be healthy, what would you say? Mixed veg soup with red lentils and that too with very few spices. No doubt it would be good for health but is it delicious too? Because without taste nobody wants to try anything and particularly when you cook yourself and put effort to make it, then you definitely would wish that it would be delicious. 

Some people actually say soup is for those people who do not care about nutrition value of their meal through the day, so when they reach home they prefer a healthy and simple soup so that they body get something with proper nutrition value. But there are also some people who will never try something which healthy but tasteless. Do you? Okay, in which group do you see yourself? The first group for health conscious people or the second group for people who want the taste and only taste nothing else?

AND vegetables are also good for health that too mixed vegetables. So what else people want in soup? Do you want something more in your soup? I think it is enough. But the only challenge is to make a tasty soup and make your evening good, hmm well some people even prefer to have soup before lunch too. So no issues make it also for having before lunch. No offence and no crime, only red lentil and mixed veg soup.

lentil and mixed veg soupThough here I used home grown pumpkin and using it since last week, probably one more week we can have this. But you obviously will use something bought from the market. Now if you are planning to make this red lentil and mixed veg soup then you should have red lentils, onion, garlic, bay leaves, curry leaves, red chilli, green chilli, tomato, green beans, carrot, pumpkin, pointed gourd, tamarind, oil, and salt in your inventory. You can add any other seasonal vegetables if you prefer but I would prefer to stick to those ingredients only. No additional tempering is required except garlic, bay leaves, curry leaves and red chillies.
