Directions
A bowl of this Easy Vegetable and Beans Sprout soup and your nutrition of proteins, vitamins and minerals for the day is complete. I usually prefer having soups for dinner, but not the clear soups as they make my tummy growl in the middle of the night. But a generous serving of this vegetable and sprouts soup have never kept me hungry. You can have this thick soup with toasted bread and your tummy is satisfied.
Early on I among many of us had a misconception, that soups are bland and should be had by those who want to have a low calorie meal. But as a misconception it was, thick soups like this Easy Vegetable and Beans Sprouts Soup will fill up your tummy without adding the unnecessary calories yet will give you all the nutrition you need. For those you are looking out for low calorie soups, you are at the right place.
Earlier I made this soup with vegetables and lentils. However lentils take a longer time to cook if they aren’t soaked prior. Once such day when I forgot to soak my lentils, I had some sprouts with me so I decide to replace lentils with sprouts and they not only faster to cook but tastier and heartier than lentils. I haven’t used any thickening agent in this soup as sprouts or lentils do work in the same way, but if you feel like adding a potato or flour (béchamel sauce).
