Cream of Carrot and Bottle Gourd Soup

Cream of Carrot and Bottle Gourd Soup

Cream of Carrot and Bottle Gourd Soup is my one-pot bowl of goodness and nutrition. I have to thank my blogger friend, Amritha Srinath for this recipe. This recipe is one of her treasures on her blog on soups. I fell in love instantly with the recipe and made it the same day. Lauki is an excellent vegetable for losing weight and for keeping your weight loss goals. It is easy on the digestive system as well. Carrot is also full of fibre and is a great combo with the bottle gourd. For this delightful soup recipe you just have to cook all the ingredients together in a pressure cooker; then blend to a smooth consistency with the few herbs and spices.

During winters, this soup is a real comforter. Warm and filling, it helps you detox and have a fresh, sumptuous meal.  But I never liked Lauki. If you had asked me to drink bottle gourd soup, a few years ago I would have baulked at the idea. But now that I am aware of its benefits, I have added it to my regular menu.

Healthy Soups

Soups make great dinners as they are wholesome, filling and nutritious. I have a delicate tummy and hence I have light dinners. Soup with garlic bread or just plain toast is soothing for my stomach. Lauki is full of water and hence makes you feel fuller for a longer time. The carrot and the tomatoes add the slight sweet and tangy taste to the soup.

 Carrots can be combined with any other vegetable for soups and bottle gourd and tomatoes seem perfect for a naturally thick, rich soup. I added just black pepper and cardamom to the original recipe.

Check out recipes of my favorite soups- Vegan Beetroot Soup with Coconut Milk. Hot and Sour Soup, Fresh Veg Corn soup.
