The addition of boiled potato is a very good idea – both for the texture and for making it a wholesome, filling meal. Thank you for this!
This is the perfect season to slurp healthy soup, nice serving bowl. 🙂
I am definitely going to try this. Like the idea of adding potato. Happy Pongal!
Very healthy soup and loved the addition of potatoes to it. Definitely going to try it
Dear Padhu,
For weight loss all ingredients are good except potato because Potato is full of carbohydrates which provides energy.
In weight loss program we avoid carbs in order to use fat as energy.
please tell me why you mention potato if this is a weight loss soup.
I appreciate your work.
with regards

Yes, Arjun I agree with you but I have used a very small potato. Usually we add maida or cornflour to thicken soups which is very harmful for us, so in other to avoid that I have used a small potato. A small piece of potato is not going to affect in any way.
It's not a good idea to avoid carbs totally for weight loss.Balanced meal is right option which include carbs fats and proteins in significant amount.
Very nice recipe…trying this today only…

nice post
Thanks for the recipe. Really mouth watering..
Excellent when made. Thanks for the wonderful recipe. I always check your blog for cooking because they're easy to make.
I added carrot instead of a potato. Taste good. Thank you PadhusKitchen
I almost didn’t try the recipe because the list of ingredients provided no liquids so I was thinking it was flawed. I did try it after reading directions and used some homemade chicken broth I had in the freezer and used my immersion blender which worked out great. The result was a hearty soup we enjoyed
Thanks for the simple recipe with minimal ingredients. Great way to have broccoli .
