We have different types of soups every night at home. I have already posted 'Mixed vegetable soup' here:
This one is one of the favourites of our family:
Ingredients:
1. 2 tomatoes, chopped
2. 4/5 Shallots (Saambaar vengaayam) or normal onion, chopped
3. 4/5 cloves of garlic, chopped
4. 1 carrot, peeled and chopped
5. A small piece of capsicum (just for flavour)
6. 2 Bay leaves
7. 1/2 tbs. butter.
8. 2 tsp. of Milk powder to give a creamy taste.
9. 1/2 tsp. Sugar, Salt and Pepper as per your taste.
Method:
Take a small pan. Heat it. Put the butter.
Add the Bay leaves (cut into small pieces), turn a bit.
Add Onion, Garlic and fry a bit.
Add capsicum, carrot pieces and the rest of the ingredients. Fry some more.
Add sugar and salt. Add a cup of water.
Put a lid on the pan and cook for 5 mts. Let it cool.
Put all these ingredients in a mixer and grind. Add the milk powder in the last run.
Strain in a strainer, not tea strainer but in a strainer with a bit big holes. You can add water, around 3/4 cups or according to your taste. Thin soup or a bit thick soup!
Boil it, add pepper powder.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves! Your tasty soup is ready!
Try it and tell me if you like it!
P.S.: Variants: You can add a few drumstick leaves or methi leaves while cooking the ingredients. It will give a different flavour.
