When Hunger Strikes Have This Wonder Soup


The wonder soup is made with tomatoes, onions, green peppers, celery, cabbage, onion, and any other vegetables like cucumber, broccoli , carrots, mushrooms etc. also can be added.
It is a very light tasting yet filling  soup, to have whenever, we are bored or feel like having something between meals. Since it is made with lots of vegetables it is highly nutritious and healthy in between food to be had at any time of the day. People who are familiar with the GM diet would know about this particular soup.
Here, I am not adhering strictly to the ingredients mentioned in their wonder soup recipe, for I like to add a lot more variety of vegetables to it to make it even more tasty and healthy. It is so simple and easy to make, here is my version of this soup:

Ingredients:

Half of medium sized cabbage( roughly chopped)
2 medium sized onions (chopped into medium size pieces)
10- 12 button mushrooms (chopped into medium size pieces)
Two big tomatoes
a few flowers of Broccoli
half a cucumber 
1 medium sized carrot
1 large capsicum
(Please don't add Beetroot and Potatoes)
Chop all the vegetables into medium size
Method:

In a large deep frying pan pour 2 tsp of olive oil
Once the oil  is hot put the onions, mushrooms and the capsicum and fry them till they are a little brown

Now add all the other vegetables to this and give it good stir.

Next add some seasoning like Italian spice powder about 2 tsp, salt to taste and 2 tsp of Oregano. If you have flax seeds add 2 tsps of that too. You can also add 1 tblsp of organic Apple cider Vinegar.
Add about 4 cups of water or enough to cover all the vegetables completely

 Cover it with a lid wait till the water starts , once it starts to boil reduce the heat to simmer
Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, and come back to check whether all the vegetables have cooked well (they should not over cook, they should be slightly crisp).

Now your Wonder Soup is ready to be transferred into a big bowl.

Now you can have some of this healthy hot soup, or let it cool and refrigerate it and keep it for 2 days, taking out as much as you want and heating it in the microwave and having it off and on as much / or as many times you want. It would help in you keeping your weight down. no wonder it is called the "Wonder Soup" .

Serve it as a special starting dish for large parties, it’s that good!  Most important is, that, it is so easy to prepare, just takes 10 minutes to prepare. And because it’s a vegetarian soup, it’s a crowd-pleaser for everyone.

I make this soup every two days, and we have  it two times in a day.

This soup is very addictive, and it is a good addiction. 
I am a little lazy to type the recipe again separately, and anyway it is a very easy recipe, there is hardly any thing complicated about it.

bon appétit!
