Tomatoes and Chillies for a Tasty Soup

Apart from changing your diet, you need to understand the subtle ideas behind your taste to be able to stick to it forever. For example, do you like your foods sweet, or a little sour or you need them to be spicy.
Let me tell you what I do for being a person who loves a little ‘sour and spicy’ food. I add a lot of tomatoes to my soups and vegeatables. Believe it or not, if you boil tomatoes and green chillies together, they give a wonderful flavour to go with whole wheat breads or rice.
You can also add raw papaya to the mixture, for example, half a kilo of raw papaya with 250 grams of tomatoes along with 2 green chillies, and boil them together- cooking with pressure cooker takes just 10 minutes. Sprinkle coriander leaves and add one teaspoon of powder of roasted cumin seeds. This is great for a lunch apart from taking care of your stomach.
In case the amounts here are too large for a lunch for you, you can divide them into three portions if you wish to; to be eaten at three different times, it will be fine in the fridge for a couple of days.
I consider this as the idea to provide your stomach with food so as to help with the metabolism which is required to burn calories.
There are plenty of vegetables with which you can experiment along with tomatoes. Mint leaves and coriander leaves are the other two varieties which can sprice up your vegetables.
