Thai Soup
Here many green stars shine in the ES-Food-Check: Cholesterol-lowering dietary fibres and a low fat content make Thai soup a culinary delight for all those who want to do something good for their cardiovascular system.
For even more healthy fibre, add a finely shredded carrot and a handful of pepper strips to the Thai soup and cook for 4-5 minutes. The shorter the cooking time, the crispier the vegetables.
