How To Make Vegetable Clear Soup

A clear soup is a soup of boiled vegetables or any meat in any liquid until 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.

Recipe Notes

 

 

*** To jazz up this soup for my family requirements I do the following-

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