A soup for all seasons<\/strong><\/p>\n

This simple one bowl dish always brings on a smile as almost every time i have made it, it gets wiped clean.\u00a0 When you just want to make a meal out of a soupy dish, this is IT!!<\/p>\n

Warm, soothing and nourishing, I present you the adaptations for winter and summer.\u00a0 All doshas are pacified by this – the kaphas can lower the creaming options to half a tea spoon.<\/p>\n
