In addition to being simple, tasty, and flavored, Vegetable Soup is also a healthy and nutrient-rich soup recipe. It is also commonly called weight loss soup as it helps burn fat. The recipe does not contain greasy ingredients, making it easily digestible and filling. This soup can be served just before the meal as an appetizer, thus making digestion straightforward.

The same set of veggies can also be boiled in veggie stock to make a simple, filling soup.
