Zero Oil Vegetable Soup

Zero oil vegetable soup is a very delicious and healthy soup. Good for the weight watcher and heart healthy too. You can  take and mix any vegetable of your choice. I just suggest  few which I like.One caution while choosing the vegetables if you are pregnant or planning such then skip raw papaya. The Papaya latex's main constitiuants are papain and chymopapain which have teratogenic (abnormalities of physiological development) and abortifacient (Can induce an abortion) effects . It does this by increasing the chances of uterine contractions as the papain acts like prostaglandin and oxytocin which are known to put a mothers body into labour and hence an adverse effect on the babies and mothers health. I just want all my readers to stay safe healthy and happy. I am sure you all will like this completely oil free comfy soup. Enjoy.
