Add ragi flour with 1 cup of water in a bowl and whisk until it’s lump-free. Keep this aside.
4 tablespoon Ragi flour, 1 + 3 cups Water
In a pan or pot on medium flame, add oil. Once the oil is hot, add onion, garlic, ginger, and saute until onions become translucent.
1 tablespoon Oil, 1 Onion, 4 cloves Garlic, ¼ inch Ginger
Now add mushrooms and saute for 2 minutes on medium flame.
6 Mushrooms
Next, add carrots, green beans, sweet corn, green peas, and salt and continue to saute for 2 minutes.
⅓ cup Carrot, ⅓ cup Green beans, ⅓ cup Sweet corn, ⅓ cup Green peas, ¾ to 1 teaspoon Salt
Add 3 cups of water and bring it to a boil. Simmer it for 2 minutes. You can check the video here.
1 + 3 cups Water
Finally, add the ragi slurry and keep mixing and simmer for 3 minutes. Add cilantro and switch off the flame. Serve this soup hot and enjoy

Use any veggies that you and your kids love. Some veggies that can be added to the soup include carrots, capsicum (bell pepper), green beans, cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, green peas, baby corn, mushroom, sweet corn, spinach (palak), mustard greens, etc.
You can also vary the amount of all ingredients as per your preference.
My kids do not prefer anything spicy. So I generally don’t add pepper powder or pepper flakes to the recipe. I provide pepper powder and red pepper flakes as a side so that each person can add as much as they need.
The amount of water used in the recipe gives the perfect soup consistency when served hot. Ragi soup thickens as it cools down. In that case, adjust the consistency by adding water and heat again.
I have added cilantro. You can switch it with parsley or spring onions.
To make it protein-rich, you can also add chickpeas or other cooked beans of your choice if needed. You can also add tofu or paneer to make the soup protein-packed.
