This is an absolutely simple soup that I cook very often. It is very comforting and filling. Today I added 100g Iceberg Lettuce, and you might think it is too much when you see it, but it is not. Actually you can add more if you like. This soup is low in calories, but not very nutritious. You can add a protein such as Egg, Chicken, Prawns, Pork, etc.
