Healthy 10 Minute Creamy Vegetable Soup
Ingredients for 2 large or 4 small servings:
1 bag (350 grams or 3/4 lb. ) of frozen mixed vegetables (like broccoli, cauliflower, carrot,green beans,peas etc.)
2 large garlic cloves, whole and peeled
1 vegetable bouillon cube (No MSG and low sodium)
11/2 cups or 350 ml water
1/4 cup or 60 ml whole milk
1 tbsp. flour
salt and pepper to taste
1. Place the frozen vegetables and garlic cloves in a pot with a couple of tablespoons of water. Cover the pot ad under medium low heat allow the vegetables to defrost. Once defrosted place the vegetables, bouillon cube, water, milk, flour, salt and pepper inside a blender. Blend and puree until the consistency of a thick creamy soup puree. If you would like a more watery soup add more water to the puree.
2. Pour the puree back into the same pot and simmer for another 5 minutes or until ready to serve. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve with fresh bread on the side. Or for a meal serve with grilled cheese sandwiches, a salad or as an entrée to a meal.

LOVE creamy soups like this that don't actually consist of 99% cream, and this looks so quick and easy too. No excuses for turning into a fatty boombah when I have no time, I guess!
The soup sounds delicious and the giveaway could definitely go to good use! I'm going to enter in number 244.
Have a great thanksgiving holiday!
