Healthy alternatives

• Used Fat free milk instead of Cream
  Using milk instead of cream cuts lot of fat but still keep the taste.

• Used blend of spices to give the soup great aroma
  

Note

Sauté the vegetables in the morning/afternoon for soup for dinner. This will give vegetables ample time to cool down while covered, which makes the vegetables more tender and smooth.

You can also create a batch of soup and freeze it before adding milk. Use it as needed and add milk appropriately.
