Celery, Tomato, Carrot and Chili Soup

Why people make this soup

After the festive season, most of us find a few extra pounds have crept on. Cooking with vegetables is a light, low-calorie approach that Chinese food therapy has long favored for weight management. The clever twist in this recipe is the addition of fresh ginger and red chili — they take the edge off the cooling nature of raw vegetables, making the soup suitable even for those who usually feel cold easily. The result is a soup that is fragrant, mildly spicy, and genuinely pleasant to eat.
