The weather has already started getting cooler and what better dish in the evenings, than a nice warm healthy soup. Serve it with some Whole Wheat Melba Crackers or crispbread spread with a Garlic Spread and you’ve got yourself a meal. All you have to do is sauté the veggies in some oil spray, add water and some flavorings, let it cool and puree with your blender. Super easy!

Bring the soup to a boil and cook for 10 minutes until the vegetables are soft. Take the pot off the heat and puree the soup with an immersion blender or regular blender. Taste the soup and add salt and pepper if you want. Divide the soup over 3 to 4 bowls.
