Did you think it impossible to make thick creamy soups that are healthy too? It is a misconception that only fat-laden ingredients like cream and cheese can help to thicken soups and give them a luscious mouth-feel and rich taste. These fat-laden ingredients will only add to your waistline!
To make creamy soups the low-cal way, try adding some amount of low-fat milk to veggies. Alternatively, thicken soups using cooked pulses, dals and sprouts, which will give you the goodness of protein instead of fat. Also, you can add rolled oats or powdered oats to get that luscious consistency.
