Mixed Vegetable Soup

By this time you might have realized that soups are one of my favorites. They are easy to prepare, nutritious and healthy. This soup could be had with some bread rolls for a simple nights dinner. I got some bamboo shoots and water chestnuts from a chinese store. Peeling the water chestnuts is a hassle but completely worth the effort. The bamboo shoots when cooked in water lends such aroma to the soup. Also the crunchiness of bamboo shoots makes it fun for the teeth to masticate. Don't despair if you don't have bamboo shoots. You can still prepare this soup with other vegetables listed below. Preparation time of 15-20 minutes can yield a fiber rich soup. Enjoy !
