Carrot Onion Soup: A Wholesome and Spiced Delight
The Carrot Onion Soup recipe is a light, warming, and highly nutritious dish, perfect for those seeking a healthy meal or snack. This Indian onion carrot soup with herbs is a simple yet powerful blend of everyday ingredients, offering a substantial boost of vitamins and minerals. It’s a boon for weight watchers as it is filled with fiber and keeps them satisfied for long hours, thus helping in avoiding junk eating.
Nutritional Powerhouse for Overall Health
This soup is an exceptional source of several vital nutrients. The inclusion of 1/2 cup low fat milk provides a good amount of protein and calcium, which helps to nourish all the cells and tissues of the body. Furthermore, the main vegetable, chopped carrot 1 1/2 cups, adds huge quantities of vitamin A, an essential nutrient for vision and immune function. The soup's health advantage is amplified because it has not been strained, meaning it retains all of its natural fiber.
Excellent Choice for Diabetes, Heart, and Hypothyroidism
The spiced onion carrot soup is highly beneficial for managing several health conditions. Its high fiber content acts as a 'broom' for the digestive system, cleaning it and preventing constipation. For diabetics and heart health, fiber is critical as it slows down the absorption of glucose and helps lower cholesterol. For hypothyroidism, maintaining a healthy weight and ensuring adequate vitamin intake is important, and this low-calorie, nutrient-dense soup supports both, making it a warming and safe option.
Satiety and Benefits for PCOS Management
For individuals managing PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), the soup is an ideal addition to the diet. The combination of fiber from the whole vegetables and protein from the low fat milk significantly increases satiety (the feeling of fullness). This helps manage cravings and control overall calorie intake, which is essential for managing the weight concerns associated with PCOS. As a healthy onion carrot soup, it provides high nutrient density for very few calories.
Cooking the Flavorful Base
To start the carrot onion soup, heat the oil (1 tsp olive oil) in a pressure cooker on a medium flame. Add the roughly chopped onion (3/4 cup) and sauté for 2 minutes. Then, add the carrot, chopped apple (1/2 cup), little salt, and 1 1/2 cups of water. Mix well and pressure cook for 3 whistles. The apple adds a subtle natural sweetness that balances the savory notes of the onion and carrot.
Finishing the Creamy, Spiced Soup
Once the pressure has escaped, cool slightly and blend in a mixer till smooth. The blend is then transferred to a deep non-stick pan. Add the seasonings: mixed herbs (1/2 tsp dried mixed herbs), milk, 1/2 cup of water, salt, and freshly ground black pepper (kalimirch). Mix well and cook on a medium flame for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors are fully integrated. The final carrot onion soup is best served hot, providing a comforting and nourishing experience.

Made slight adjustments: used both olive oil and butter to saut? the onions. Substituted 1 1/2 cups plain water for chicken stock when adding to the onions, carrots and apples. Lastly didn''t use a pressure cooker allowed it to simmer on low heat for about 30 mins. Other than these changes followed the recipe, & the taste was fantastic!!! Suprising how filling this turned out to be!

I tried this recipe but the soup was very bitter in taste. I followed the recipe exactly used the same measurements and timings. But finally the soup was so bitter and was inedible.

Hi, We have tried this here and it was perfect, Don''t know what went wrong with your soup,just make sure your apple is not bad that could be the only possibility that the soup went bitter in taste.

Hi Krishta, If you do not have a pressure cooker, instead of pressure cooking it, you can cook it in a deep non-stick pan and cover it with a lid and cook.
