Mulligatawny soup, whose name is derived from the Tamil words milagu thanni meaning “pepper water,” is a dish with South Indian antecedents that evolved during the colonial era when British officers adapted the spiced rasam into a hearty soup by adding lentils, vegetables, and sometimes rice or coconut milk.

Nutrient-Dense Button Mushroom Soup
Mushroom soup, especially when made with tender white button mushrooms, is a creamy, earthy delight with a soft beige hue and a velvety, spoon-coating consistency. The finely blended mushrooms give it a smooth yet slightly textured mouthfeel, making each sip both comforting and satisfying. Button mushrooms, though mild in flavour, are rich in B vitamins,…

The Indian summer is harsh and unrelenting. It saps your energy so that you don’t want to even move from your chair. Of course, some little things compensate. Mangoes are one of them. Sweet and luscious, they are an absolute delight. But my post today is a raw mango soup. There is a reason why…

Chilled Beetroot Soup
The body, in this harsh and hot weather, craves something chilled. Salads are good, but difficult to consume given that there is a definite loss of appetite.

I have tried to keep it as close to the original as possible and omitted ingredients that are either not readily available in India or are not WFPB compliant.

Moroccan Chickpea Soup (Modified)
I have been having a soup a day right through this winter. While I really enjoy my soups, I do hanker after something different every once in a while. It’s during one of those ‘dissatisfied’ moments that I began to browse for something really different. And turned my attention to Africa. I promptly landed on…
Bottle Gourd Soup
I am not fond of bottle gourd (lauki, doodhi, ghia, sorakkai) at all. It is one vegetable that is available abundantly throughout the year. And it promptly arrives in my vegetable basket once a week! When I was home cooking for my dog, I used the bottle gourd up by putting it into his food….
Vegetables And Cowpea Soup
I had experimented with several soups last winter. Unfortunately, I forgot the recipes once I made them. I am therefore spending a lot of time re-creating the recipes. This vegetables and cowpea soup is one of them. Like all soups, it is quite easy to prepare. It is a clear soup loaded with vegetables. My…
