To all those who often ask what is a clear soup?
A clear soup is a soup of boiled vegetables or any meat in any liquid untill its flavors are released. A clear soup does not contain any starch or any flavorings. It’s very good for those on a diet.
Every now and then I crave for some clear soup. Please be advised that this is my version of a clear soup.
So lets get started.

*** To jazz up this soup for my family requirements I do the following-
- Add some sugar to taste to cut through the tartness of tomatoes.
- Thicken it up by mixing 3-4 tbsp cornflour in 1/2 cup water and add it towards the end of cooking process.
- Saute 2 tbsp of chopped veggies in 1 tbsp butter. I used onion and carrot here. You can use any variety of veggies.
- I also add some pizza seasoning or oregano in the end. My kids love this twist.
- Add a dash of soy sauce and red chilli sauce for a spice hit.
- Add some chicken for a non veg flavored soup.

On the side serve some bread toasted with cheese. It’s so yum!!!!
Honestly this soup is one of our favourite. It’s a great way to use up your leftover veggies. It’s the best way to not waste any veggies.
