Palak Tomato veg soup

Here's another soup which I tried of my own. Since I often make tomato soup, today I thought why not add palak also to it and some veggies. So this is my own creation. 

To make this soup kid's approved, I also added some noodles to it. The soup turned out to be dark in color. Thats because I cooked the palak leaves and didnt think about retaining the color of the palak. So after cooking the palak leaves were very dark green and after mixing it with tomatoes I got a brown color. Its better to retain the color of the palak leaves. So cook the palak leaves separately and add little lemon juice to retain the color. 

Over to my recipe:


Ingredients:

Tomatoes  - 4, finely chopped
Palak (leaves) - a bunch
Vegetables (cauliflower and mushrooms) - 1/2 cup
Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
Tomato sauce - 2 tbsp
Soy sauce - 1 tbsp
Chili sauce - ½ tsp
Sugar - 2 tsp
Vinegar - 1 teaspoon
Maggi veg broth - 1 cube
noodles - 2 tbsp
Oil  - 1 tbsp
coriander leaves (chopped) - ½ tsp
Salt - to taste



Method:


  • Boil noodles in salted water. Strain it and keep aside.
  • Microwave the tomatoes and palak leaves for 4 minutes. Once cooled, grind them into a fine paste.
  • In a pan, take 1 tablespoon of oil. Add minced garlic and chopped onions. Saute them till the onions turn translucent and there is not any raw smell of garlic.
  • Add the vegetables and fry for 5 minutes so that the vegetables are half cooked.
  • Add the ground tomato and palak paste. 
  • Add all the tomato sauce, chili sauce, soy sauce, Maggi vegetable broth cube and sugar. 
  • Let it boil and then for 5 minutes.
  • Add seasoning, salt and noodles. Mix well. Cook for another minute.


Serve hot with some bread!!
