Background

The beauty of this Low-Cal Vegetable Soup is that it's filling and tasty - but it works out at less than 40 calories per portion! I use a pressure cooker for speed and (I think) a richer flavour. A normal pan would need about 250 ml more water and about 30 minutes simmering.

Ingredients

10g "1-cal" olive oil spray
160g Mushrooms
180g Onions
100g Beans green
130g Broccoli
130g Carrots
1.5 litre vegetable stock
Seasoning to taste

Instructions

Roughly cut all the vegetables.
Squirt the oil into the pressure cooker and put over a medium-low heat.
Put the mushrooms & onions in and cook for a couple of minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing them to sweat.
Add the other vegetables and stir for another couple of minutes before adding the stock.
Put on the lid, bring up to pressure then lower heat. Pressure cook for 8 minutes, then turn off heat and allow to cool by itself.
Use stick blender (or food blender) to create smooth potage.
