Description

10 minute itsy bitsy soup. A soup i learnt as a teenager initially when i started cooking (a married teenager). At moms place i don’t remember being served a soup at all except for the paaya soup (aatukkal soup) served with arusi maavu rotti. The same at my in-laws place to. I prefer watery soups to creamy soups.But my hubby and my kids like creamy soups. So very rarely do i make watery soups at home. Maybe once in 4 times of creamy soups, a watery soup will be prepared.Usually i don’t garnish my soups at home as i serve my soups with a sandwich or a starter which is more than enough. I like the concept of having a hot home style soup before a meal as your food intake gets reduced to a certain level and is great healthy eating option. The nutritional boost of these watery soups will make them your go to food to beat the calorie count.
