Vegetable clear soup is one of the simplest soup recipe which you can whip up with few fresh or leftover veggies which you can grab from your kitchen. With little salt & pepper, you have yourself a bowl full of goodness, what could be more comforting than a cup of hot fresh clear soup on a cold winter day! I usually make this when someone has cold or cough at home. Usually when you are sick you won’t feel any appetite, don’t feel like having anything but want something to soothe your throat..this is your best bet, it keeps you hydrated and full with a sense of fullness.

Notes
- You can pick any vegetable of your choice but some do actually make the soup very tasty… I have used carrots, beans, celery, spring onion & some cabbage.
- If you wish to serve the soup completely clear then you have strain all the veggies and serve the soup alone.
- If you chop your veggies very fine then serve it along.
- Turmeric is optional add in light yellow tinge to the soup.
- Try using freshly ground black pepper.
- Butter adds nice flavor to the soup, try adding half oil and half butter.
- Usually a clear soup does not include any thickening agent- if you prefer then add 1/2 teaspoon corn flour mixed in 2 teaspoon water and add to the simmering soup which will thicken it a bit. OR Scoop some of the cooked veggies along with some soup grind it to a fine paste and add to the soup.
- Serves 2

I would like to make a batch of this soup ahead ( 2-3 days) in crockpot.
1) Would I be able to freeze a big batch ( 7-8 quart size crock)
2) What are steps before serving including thawing, tempering or adding extra stuff for freshness, I guess I could let it be warm on crockpot during the dinner party.
Thanks for the recipe! BTW I have read your freezing post so many times its very handy.. I have some issues freezing and thawing certain foods. Will have to learn about food types ! – Thanks Ramya
Hi Ramya,
Thanks for trying my recipes and sending in a feedback. Yes they do freeze well.
1. Make a batch either stove top or crock pot anything is fine. Pressure cooker works well too with 2 whistles.
2. Coriander leaves don’t freeze well, they turn dark when you thaw them. So I recommend that you add just before serving or while warming up for fresh taste.
3. They freeze well in freezer friendly zip lock bags or boxes or any freezer safe box.
4. You either thaw them overnight by putting in the refrigerator or 15 minutes room temperature to just loosen a bit and then transfer to the crock to warm up. (it will be still icy)
5. Butter will definitely add tons of flavor, do add a teaspoon when its warming up.
6. If you wish to thicken the soup, then grind about a tablespoon of the cooked veggies along with little soup and add it to the simmering soup. This way it gives thick creamy consistency.
Hope this helps and have a great party. If its not a problem, share in click of the recipes you try through our FB page!Thanks.
Thank you.

Sorry, have not been commenting on your blog and truly feeling bad. Let me start now. This soup – just the soup for the rainy weather. We usually made for chicken rice and thanks for your version. Instead of making rasam almost twice a week, this one I will try when hub is back after travelling.
Nava, no worries, do not feel bad, i can truly understand. Between work& home, it is really hard to keep track & comment in every single blog on a daily basis. BTW, this soup is more like a homestyle healthy one with no additives, really comforting on a cold day, I would like to try the chicken rice soup too sometime. I tasted that once in a thai restaurant and really liked it! Thanks again for being so sweet!
Looks very nice, need that bowl.
Thanks Swathi, enjoy this soup with those beautiful bread rolls that you made!
It’s freezing cold here can u send me a big bowl
Vidhya, guess you are slowly adjusting to the new place! Winter will be much worse, bookmark this recipe… it will come handy soon!
Beautiful click and a very tasty and yummy recipe
Thank you Kushi!
