Protein Rich Indian Soup Recipes, High Protein vegetarian Soups. Indian cuisine boasts a rich array of protein-packed soups that are both comforting and nutritious. These soups offer a wholesome meal or a hearty starter, satisfying hunger while providing essential nutrients.
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.

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

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.
Try protein rich soups like Garlicky Moong Sprouts Soup with Spinach (7.9 g of protein / serving). To get a double dose of protein combine sprouts with paneer to make a tempting delicacy like Paneer Bean Sprouts and Spring Onion Soup (11% of RDA, 6.1 g of protein / serving).
