Note:

* It is an Health Recipe for Diabetics.
* The abundance of intensely flavoured fresh vegetables makes this soup rich, tasty and extremely satisfying without the use of too much oil.
* Oats have been added to thicken the soup as well as to add fibre to your diet.
* I find this soup an excellent remedy for a cold.
* A hot bowlful usually chases way and congestion that accompanies a cold and rejuvenates my spirits.
