A Quick Vegetable Soup

Soups are in general a way to eat different vegetables in a tastier way. And vegetable soup for me is the one soup where I can eat lots of veggies without thinking which one I don't like or which one I do like. I put as many veggies as I can or whatever is available with me at that moment. I always keep vegetable broth handy, just in case if I crave for vegetable soup or any soup for that matter.

Vegetable broth can be used in many other ways. You can use it for making rice/pulao in case you want to elevate the flavor profile of the dishes. Vegetable soup for me is a heart warming soup which
reminds me of love and comfort.

This is a very simple and quick recipe, which you can make in less than half an hour and enjoy on a cold evening or any time of the day for that matter :). Give it a try.
