Thick vegetable soup is another variation of a delicious and healthy lunch. Six different types of vegetables and several types of herbs combine wonderfully with each other, giving the soup an excellent aroma and taste. At the same time, it does not matter that it is winter now. Frozen vegetables are great for making soup. For example, cauliflower, bell peppers, green peas, broccoli, etc. Each housewife can adjust the range of selected vegetables independently, from personal preferences.
The base of the soup can be any. Boil it in vegetable, fish, or mushroom broth during fasting. For a more satisfying meal, pieces of pork or beef are suitable. And for a filling and light soup at the same time, use chicken meat. Chicken broth is not only tasty, it also helps to recuperate after an illness.
The balance of liquid and vegetables in a soup is a conditional thing. Therefore, exactly how many vegetables should be in the food should be decided by each housewife individually. It is important that the soup barely boils and does not boil. This is fundamentally important. Otherwise, with intense boiling, it will look like porridge, and turn into mashed potatoes with vegetables.
