Vegetable Soup

Soups are known for their health benefits.Often children wont prefer to take vegetables directly but soups are the easiest and best way to provide them with nutrients given by vegetables. We can see many ready made soups available in the departmental stores where we have to just add water and boil it for a few minutes. But i always prefer to prepare it homemade.

The total preparation time takes only 30 min including the cooking time. Just we have to cook all vegetables, make it to fine paste and boil by adding water,sugar,salt and pepper powder.
