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.

This easy soup made with green moong bean, horsegram and beetroot among other veggies is our favourite. Kids too love the deep colour from the beets and say that it is very appetizing. With all the above ingredients, it is definitely an iron-rich recipes for kids as well as adults.
