Fat-Free Creamy Soup
As you know, I don't do 'DIET' but sometimes, after a particularly naughty weekend, I find I don't want anymore rich food. This is a quick soup I made for my lunch today that doesn't contain any fat, cream, or butter but it still has a rich creamy texture.
The magic ingredient is potato.... here's how I make it:
Peel and cut into smallish pieces:
2 carrots
1 large potato
1 onion
Place the vegetables into a sauce pan with 1 good quality stock cube and enough water to cover the vegetables.
Add any herbs you like. I used...
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
Pinch of dried thyme
Cover the pan and cook over a low heat until the vegetables are very tender. If you like to add a little heat to your soup, add 1 teaspoon HOME MADE CHILI SEASONING.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and puree the vegetables and stock together until smooth and creamy. I use a stick blender for this but you can always use a food processor. Return the soup to the heat and bring it back up to a simmer before serving. That's it, creamy, fat free and not naughty at all!
