1 medium carrot, chopped (optional)
1 small potato, chopped (optional)
1 small tomato, chopped
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
1-inch ginger, minced (optional)
1 green chili (optional, for a bit of heat)
4 cups vegetable broth (or water)
1/4 tsp turmeric powder (optional)
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp cumin seeds
50g tomato sauce
50g tomato paste
40g butter
two roasted slices of bread
1 tbsp olive oil (or any healthy oil)
Salt to taste
Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
2 dried black lemon
Method:
Heat butter:
In a large pot, heat 50g butter on medium heat.
Sauté Vegetables:
Add chopped onions, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions turn translucent.
Add carrots, potatoes, and tomatoes. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add Spices:
Add turmeric powder, black pepper, and green chili (if using). Stir well to coat the vegetables with the spices.
Add Oats:
Stir in the Quaker oats and cook for 2 minutes, allowing them to absorb some of the flavors from the spices and vegetables.
Add Broth:
Pour in the vegetable broth (or water). Stir everything together and bring it to a boil.
Simmer:
Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are soft and the oats are fully cooked.
Adjust Consistency:
Add more broth or water to reach your desired consistency if the soup becomes too thick.
Season and Serve:
Add salt to taste. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
Serve Hot:
Pour the soup into bowls and enjoy it warm. It pairs well with whole wheat bread or a side salad.
Health Benefits:
Rich in Fiber:
Oats are an excellent source of dietary fiber, particularly beta-glucan, which helps regulate blood sugar levels, lowers cholesterol, and promotes a feeling of fullness.
Heart Health:
The soluble fiber in oats helps reduce bad cholesterol (LDL), which supports cardiovascular health. Adding olive oil, rich in healthy fats, further enhances this benefit.
Weight Management:
Oats have a high satiety index, meaning they help you feel full for longer, aiding in weight control and reducing overeating.
Boosts Immunity:
The vegetables in this soup, such as carrots, tomatoes, and ginger, are loaded with vitamins A and C, which strengthen the immune system.
Garlic and ginger are also known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Good for Digestion:
Oats aid digestion by promoting a healthy gut, while the fiber supports bowel regularity, preventing constipation.
Energy Booster:
This soup provides complex carbohydrates from oats, which release energy slowly, keeping you energized throughout the day.
Low in Calories:
This soup is naturally low in calories, making it a great option for those looking to maintain a healthy weight without compromising on nutrition.
