Cream Of Cabbage Soup | Low - Calorie Cabbage Soup With Broccoli

Soups are our comfort food which also happen to be a healthy alternative for most weeknight dinners at home. For a quick and healthy dinner,I always resort to one of the easy soup recipes such as this Bean and Mixed Veg Soup which works with pretty much any combination of veggies and/or beans. Another family favourite is this creamy Cabbage soup which I love to include in our everyday menu as often as possible. Cabbage is a Powerfood which is low in calorie and high in fiber and it works wonders in aiding weight-loss and helps with lowering Blood pressure and Cholesterol. In this soup, onion and cabbage are blended with low-fat skimmed milk into a smooth puree and you'd swear it included cream. Even those of you who don't like the strong smell of cabbage would enjoy this. Spare an extra 5-7mins to top it with Broccoli bits which you sure would love to munch on while relishing the soup.

Low-Calorie Broccoli Kofta - Appe Pan Recipe

After the first week of Cooking Carnival with Healthy Diet Smoothies, this week is going to be Low-Calorie Veg Recipes. I have come up with some healthy Low-Calorie Vegetarian recipes, all of which are kids-friendly and have been approved by my kids. First in the series would be Low-Calorie Broccoli Kofta. Koftas are everyone's favourite either dry as an appetizer / Starter or with a gravy. Ever since I started using Appe pan for Koftas using little oil, Iam in love with that and have tried many recipes in Appe pan. There is absolutely no change in the delicious taste and I feel it preserves the flavour at its best. Being on a weight-loss diet, I prefer to include more veggies and Kofta is an interesting way to include them. I had prepared the Kofta dough the previous night and have cooked it the next morning for kids' lunch box and its a super hit among their friends. Check out the recipe below..
