CABBAGE SOUP I HEALTHY AND DIET SOUP

Yum
Hi friends, today come with an interesting and healthy soup... First time I tried soup and posting first soup recipe too… I wanted to try the soup for long time to start my diet plan but somehow its getting postponed continuously and yesterday I got time to make this yummy and healthy soup…


I am not a soup lover even I don’t love cabbage too. We friends just discussed about weight loss diet, and then +Sangeetha M akka and +Priya R sis suggested me to try out cabbage soup… Mostly I prefer to have in the form of kootu with dal not poriyal… But the soup turns me to its side as a great fan. Thanks for your suggestion dearies.J 


I did the recipe with half-minded only but the aroma was soothing me and appetizing me. I added some cooked toor dal to thicken the soup. It’s worked well and taste was really delicious and filling soup. While I took photo of the soup my dad came for his lunch and asked me what this is? I said cabbage soup, do u have some? He too tasted and gave good compliment and it’s emptied in 5 minutes.J I too enjoy the every sip of the soup. I strongly recommend u to taste the soup…
