Ingredients:
1 medium potato
1 cup chipped carrots
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 stalk celery
1 bell pepper
1 cup chopped cabbage
1 can beans
2 cups chicken or vegetale broth
1/2 can iced tomatoes
2 tbsp medium salsa
2 oz thing spaghetti
egg
2 tbsp greek yogurt
salt
black pepper
1 tbsp summer savory (optional)
Preparation:
In a large stock pot, combine broth and up to 6 cups of water and bring to a boil. Chop all vegetables and add them to the pot. Simmer until all veggies (mainly the potatoes and carrots) are almost ready.
All salt, black pepper, summer savory, the sals and the can of tomatoes.
Crush the spaghetti and add them to all the veggies. Simmer for another 15min.
Once the soup is ready, turn of the heat and add the chopped parsley.
In a small cup beaten the egg and the yogurt together. Slowly start adding some of the soup to it and keep whisking it. Then move everything pack to the soup.
And that’s how you get a very healthy vegetable soup that is sooooo delicious.
This potato soup is light and tasty, far away from the heavy creamy soups we usually have. It is great for the hot summer days. To taste even better, add 1 tsp lemon to each bowl before serving it.

- 2 large potatoes
- 1 cup baby carrots (or 1 big one)
- 1/2 onion
- 2 stalks celery
- 3-4 tbsp salsa
- 2 oz thin spaghetti
- 2 tbsp oil
- salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp summer savory (optional)
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp plain yogurt
Directions
- Chop the onion. Cut the baby carrots in small pieces. Heat a soup pot to medium, add the oil, then add the onions once the oil warms. Saute the onions for 3-4 minutes. Add the carrots and cook another 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
- Add 2 litter hot water and bring to boil. Cook for another 15 min. Meanwhile chop the potatoes in 1 inch cubes. Add them to the boiling veggies and let them cook for another 15-20 min.
- After the potatoes are almost ready, add the salsa, finely chopped celery. Break the spaghetti in 2-3 inch long pieces and add to the soup. Salt and pepper to taste. If you have summer savory, now is the moment to add it. This is a great spice and probably my favorite one.
- After the potatoes are done and the spaghetti are ready, turn off the heat. Let it cool down for 10min
- Meanwhile, stir together the egg and yogurt. Slowly start adding from the soup to it while you continue stirring the mixture. I usually add a good cup of the how potato soup to the eggs while continuing stirring it. After that, return the eggs, yogurt and soup back in the soup pot while stirring the soup. This will give it some texture and very delicious taste.
