Background
Soups really are a godsend for those of us watching the calories but that doesn't stop them being delicious and satisfying! This LowCal Vegetable Soup is a perfect example to please all the family that's easy and quick to make. If you don't have a pressure cooker just use a heavy based pan or casserole, cut the veg rather finer and simmer (stirring frequently) for about half an hour. Done as below it works out at around 20 kCal/100g.
Ingredients
- 10 Squirts Olive Oil Spray
- 3 Cloves Garlic (peeled & chopped)(13 kCal)
- 85g Onions (peeled & chopped) (30 kCal)
- 140g Potatoes (peeled & cubed)(105 kCal)
- 80g Spinach (20 kCal)
- 120g Carrots (scrubbed & chopped)(36 kCal)
- 400g Cauliflower (chopped)(112 kCal)
- 280g Celeriac (peeled & chopped)(50 kCal)
- 200g Celery (chopped) (14 kCal)
- 100g Curly Kale (35 kCal)
- 1 litre Vegetable stock (20 kCal)
- Seasoning to taste
Instructions
- Place pressure cooker over medium heat. Spray in the oil.
- Put in the garlic & onion and allow to sweat for 2-3 minutes stirring occasionally.
- Add the other vegetables and stir well together.
- Pour in the stock and bring to the boil.

Tips
If the potatoes are organic it's best just to scrub rather than peel them.© 2026 Copyright CookTogether
