Here's what we need, what would you choose soup or salad. It depends on your desire, mood, time of day, weather, God knows what else. Think of the time you still have! And while my vegetables, turn on the stove, the kettle and start slicing vegetables.

Cut everything has to be thin. In the soup the vegetables should remain almost fresh, but to give the broth its flavor and aroma! They have different density, and in the soup they will go one by one, so as not to be boiled rag. And besides, you and I have little time now to burst the hungry hordes of family and friends! So the vegetables are not mixed, and spread in neat piles. And cut! So we cut leek in thin rings.

So a cut tomato. Cut into quarters, remove the stalk and thinly shinkuem quarters. Remove the skins from tomatoes? Guess not! It, tomato, will hold the soup so little time, the skin will remain with him. But if you do decide to make a salad, so what's the point to remove it at all?

Here you cut the pepper, removing from it the seeds and partitions.

Interrupts the Basil leaves, remove hard stems of coriander and cut this and other your favorite herbs very finely. Today I have parsley. Very well "sounds like" dill. On a fine grater grate the garlic. It is possible and through the press, but I think grated garlic make smaller and more uniform. Put it all on one plate or dish in the soup pot it will go at the same time. Smell that? So we all cut up is not long. And put it all anywhere near the plate.

During this time we warmed up the stove and boiled the kettle. We open the package with seafood, tosses them in a colander, very quickly opolaskivaniem, pour into a saucepan. Fill with boiling water somewhere just above half. If it is with ice. When melted, then they water and add. If they are "dry" freezing, water topped up so that their CHT-a little veil. So, roughly

And put the saucepan on the stove with a strong fire. Add seasoning for fish or seafood that you love. Do not go anywhere - our seafood must not boil, only boil! Boiled? Here it is - the moment of truth! So you decided - soup or salad? In the case of the salad, everything is simple - recline in a colander, and let them get cool. Mix with chopped vegetables and herbs. Mix the dressing: two tablespoons of olive oil, tablespoon lemon juice, soy sauce and garlic to taste. The garlic does not insist, but strongly recommend, if you, certainly not at work and not on a date. The result is this:

If it is soup, it is all the more interesting. All very quickly! Firmly and strongly reduce the heat to medium-small. Immediately throws back the leeks. Observed. If still boiling, put the pepper. Boils? It's good! Wait, when will begin to boil again. And literally the first bubble throws tomato, add a tablespoon of olive oil and a little soy sauce, squeeze a teaspoon of lemon juice. Lyrical digression. I'm partial to limes and trying to add them where no hitting. If you decide to replace lemon juice lime, take it two times less. Better to add than to ruin it. Lime juice gives your fighting! So before cutting it, roll it by hand on the table. With a little effort. All give, the miser! But back to the soup! Stir. Wait again. Boiled - taste for salt, vinegar, pepper. but add soy and lemon. While we tried and added, the soup cooks! Throws back the herbs and garlic, cover, remove from heat and allow to infuse for five minutes. I look at the clock and realize that it's only been fifteen minutes! You can eat! Pleasant to you of appetite!

And what I actually wrote all this?! The fact is that while Ira Oolitic on vacation and does not hold in the "Cook" its shamelessly delicious puddings and pies, Lena and II decided to lose weight! And this soup is very that helps. Oh, I can now brag! Dacus Monday, soup on the menu every day, as a separate meal, lost pounds with a ponytail! So-highly recommended! Quick, tasty and healthy!
