Frankly, I am not much of a soup person. But, once in a while, I have the urge to have a soup. Once, when I when I was running a temperature, I had the irresistible urge to have a soup. Nothing else. My doctor absolutely forbade it, saying I must have some carbohydrates. I came home and had a soup – and was fully recovered the next day. This raw papaya soup is entirely Hari’s creation. And easily one of the best soups I’ve had!
