Notes

  • Feel free to add 1 tablespoon of grated ginger for additional flavor. Good if you are making it to soothe sore throat during cough or cold.
  • Use any vegetable combination of your choice. But make sure there is a balance between all of them.
  • Add herbs of your choice.
  • For a protein-rich soup, you can even add paneer or tofu. Else add meat of your choice.
  • Love spicy soup? Add green chilies or jalapenos or red pepper flakes.
  • Some vegetables that can be added to the clear soup are onion, garlic, ginger, sweet corn, mushroom (any variety), babycorn, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, capsicum (bell pepper), bok choy, green peas, celery, cabbage, green beans, lemongrass, lemon, lemon zest, spring onions or green onions etc. I generally go with those veggies that are in my pantry that particular day. Avoid starchy vegetables if possible.
