Preparation Time15 min

Cooking Time45 min

Ingredients

1/2 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon salt
1/3 cup cabbage
1/3 cup carrots
1/3 cup cellery
1/3 cup green, red and/or yellow peppers
1/3 cup zucchini
1/3 cup broccoli
1/3 cup green beans
1/3 cup leek
1/3 cup tomatoes
parsley
1 large onion
3 cloves of garlic
1 1/2 lemon

Instructions

Peel and chop in small pieces one big onion and three cloves of garlic.
Heat 1/2 cup olive oil in the pressure cooker, if available, or in a normal large pot, fry the onion until glassy, add the garlic, and after stirring a while add the vegetables, approx. 3 liters water and one tablespoon of salt.
In the pressure cooker boil as indicated or in the normal pot until the carrots are soft (approx. 45 minutes).
When the soup is ready add the juice of one or two lemons.
The recipe results in a clear soup if you pour it through a sieve when ready and put the vegetables aside (put them in the blender, add some flour and egg or egg substitute, make little balls and fry them in good oil).

@lbssoaps 8143666: If you are worried about the amount of oil in this recipe, you can skip step 5 and still have a delicious soup. Additionally, you can omit the olive oil from the recipe, but the resulting soup will not be as rich as a result. Hope this helps! - FaveHealthyRecipes Editors

well this looked healthy until the last paragraph when you are asked to make balls of vegs and FRY them - not good! - especially as there is oil in the recipe already!
