TOMATO & PANEER SOUP
As we head into the winter, I make soups more often as they are healthy and nutritious. Elsewhere in this blog you will find recipes for Red Pumpkin Soup, Spinach Soup, and Carrot Soup.
I liked the combination of tomato and paneer (cottage cheese) in this recipe adapted from MasterChef Sanjeev Kapoor's book, "Simply Indian".
To save time, I made this soup using water but you could make vegetable stock and use it instead. A nice feature of this soup is that you get to eat the paneer cubes as you enjoy the soup.
