Italian Soup

I just loved the soup. It was filling and too healthy. I did not want anything else to go with this soup.

Ingredients 

Olive oil 1 tbsp
Cauliflower 1/2 cup
Spinach 4-5 leaves
Peas 1/2 cup 
Onion 
Carrot 1
Tomato 2
Garlic 4
Vegetable stock 2 cup 
Water 2 cup 
Bay leaf 1
Black pepper 1 1/2 tsp 
Oregano 1 1/2  tsp
Salt 
Pasta 1/4 cup 

Cheese 2 tbsp (If required)




Method 
1. Wash and chop the vegetables
2. In a large sauce pan add oil and gently saute garlic and onion for 5 mins. It should not turn brown. Splash water if they stick. Then add bay leaf
3. Place the vegetables and spinach and cook for 5 - 7 minutes on a low flame
4.  Season with black pepper, oregano and salt and saute for 2 mins
5. Now add in the vegetable stock and bring to boil for 4 mins. Then add water and cover the pan with the lid. It will take around 20- 25 mins on a low flame, cook the mixture until the vegetables are tender.
6. While your mixture is getting done, take a small pan add water and salt, boil for 2 mins then add the pasta. Leave it on the flame until cooked(don't over cook it). Once its done run it through some cold water and toss with olive oil.  ( I run through cold water and toss with olive oil as your pasta will not be sticky)
7. Once your vegetables are cooked add the pasta and keep on boil for 5 mins
7. Sever it hot and season with pepper and sprinkle some cheese 


You can add more seasoning as per your taste

Do add a tinch of love :-)
