Equipment Used for This Recipe
Notes & Tips
- Vegetables: Always use fresh vegetables for making soups as they give your recipe extra freshness and nutrients.
- Can use pre-made stock? Yes, you can use pre-made stock but I recommend don't use any pre - made stock. Let the vegetables simmer in the boiling water with spices. Soup will become tastier. Try once to see the difference!
- Spiciness: You can increase or decrease the spiciness of your soup recipe by adding more red chilli powder or black pepper powder.
- Cornflour: Cornflour thickens the soup, but you can skip it totally if you don’t want to add cornflour.
- Serving: Always serve soup hot. You can serve Soup with Garlic Bread or any other Herb bread
