Protein Rich Indian Soup Recipes | Vegetarian High Protein Soups |

What are the best sources of Vegetarian Protein Foods for Indian Soups? 

While it is generally acknowledged that non-vegetarian foods are the richest sources of proteins, there is no reason for vegetarians to worry, as there are a number of vegetarian foods such as milk and milk products, pulses, nuts, sprouts, soya and its products, a few veggies that are rich in protein etc. All we need to do is combine them in the right ways.

A recipe which offers around 4 to 5 g of protein per serving, can be considered as protein rich. However, for recipes like roti, dosa, idli etc. which are quantified in numbers, around 1.5 to 2 g can be considered as protein rich. This is because it is assumed that one person will consume at least 2 to 3 roti / dosa / idli etc. depending on its size.

These soups apart from lending protein to your diet, also are a good source of calcium and both these nutrients together pair up to build strong bones and aid in the growth of cell membrane.

Protein Rich Soups using Paneer

½ cup of paneer yields approx. 10 g of protein. This is a lot in reality. While paneer based subzis feature the most in North Indian menus, here we have attempted to recreate the taste of paneer in soups. Chopped paneer works the best for soups. For an Indian version of paneer based soup try your hand at Paneer and Spinach Soup (13% of RDA, 7.1 g of protein / serving).

Whey soup is another protein boost, in which the whey (the water that remains behind after making paneer) is used to create a magical soup. Further, the prepared paneer is cut into cubes and added to whey. Its worth trying this unique soup and piling on some protein (2.5 g per / serving). 

Protein Rich Soups using Dals and Pulses 

Pulses and Legumes can be put to use to create delicacies like Rajma and Spinach Soup (4.4 grams, 8% RDA of protein), Moong Soup, Lentil and Vegetable Broth and many more. These soups made using dals and pulses are very filling as they abound in fiber. Most of these soups can make a part of your main meal. Accompany them with a healthy salad and you are all set for a healthy meal. This kind of Soup and Salad meal is sure to please you and relieve you of the guilt of over-eating the previous day at a party. These protein rich soups are a way to make up for all necessary nutrients while not compromising on taste and flavour.

Protein Rich Weight Loss Soups using Sprouts

Sprouts are known as a weight-watchers best friend. They are not only easy to digest, but the process of sprouting increases the count of most of the other nutrients it is rich in. These protein rich sprouts, which are used to make healthy soups, helps to boost metabolism and give a feeling of fullness. This would definitely avoid bingeing on unhealthy recipes then.
