Veg Noodles Soup


Winters here...and so is the time for having warm soup after a long day. This recipe is for all those who do not have to the luxury to spend long time in the kitchen. I am using here the soup sachet which are available in the super market but with a twist to enhance the flavour as well make it more nutritious for the family. A lot of vegetables can be used here...but for my recipe I am using carrot, spring onions, green peas, sweet corn and a surprise element which is there in your pantry....vermicelli...yes the noodles part is the vermicelli.

Ingredients:

Vermicelli- Just a handful, don't break them
Carrot- 1, washed, peeled and chopped
Garlic- 2 Cloves, chopped medium
Ginger- 1tsp grated
Frozen Green peas- 2 tbsp
Frozen Sweet corn- 2 tbsp
Spring Onions- chopped
Green beans- few, chopped
salt and pepper- as per taste
Butter- 2 tbsp
Dried Oregano- a pinch or two
Soup powder- any choice
Water- 2 cups

Recipe:

Put the butter in a deep bottom sauce pan, sauté the garlic and ginger in it and add all the vegetables, starting with the beans as it will take a little longer time to cook and lastly the spring onions. Cover and let the vegetables cook for 2-5 minutes. Add a little salt and freshly grinded black pepper to it. Pour in the water, cover and let it boil for few minutes on high heat. This will cook the vegetables and will make them soft, add the vermicelli while its start to boil and mix well. Once the bubbles start, add the soup powder and let it simmer for some time. Check and adjust the seasoning. Sprinkle and mix the dried oregano and serve hot.

If very hungry, serve this with bread and enjoy...
Happy Cooking!!!
