MIXED VEGETABLE CLEAR SOUP

MIXED VEGETABLE CLEAR SOUP

In my house we make soups from time to time. They are a good supplement to the meal, especially dinner and can be made quite easily. Elsewhere in this blog, you will find recipes for Spinach Soup, Tomato & Carrot Soup, and Lemon & Coriander Soup.

During the rainy season, soups are always welcome particularly if you add a generous sprinkling of pepper as I do.

Today' s recipe is for an easy to make hot and spicy soup made with cauliflower, carrots, cabbage, capsicum, and tomatoes.  You can adjust the quantity of the chillies, pepper, and ginger to suit your tastes. I have added garlic but you can skip this if you wish. I have used 1 tsp of butter but you can add 1 tsp of olive oil instead if you so prefer.

This has been adapted from Mixed Vegetable Clear Soup from the cookery expert Tarlaji Dalal.

We enjoyed this soup last night when it was cold and raining outside.
