Notes
- To prepare the vegetable stock, always use the root part of the vegetables. This enhances the taste and strength both in the soup than using water.
- While making this soup, also add coriander stems and the roots portion to the stock, which gives more flavour to the soup.
- I have added carrot and cabbage in this recipe to give this soup a bite texture. You may add other vegetables or leave, if required.
- Carrot not only gives a crunch or bite texture but also gives this soup a colour. Make sure the vegetables are not over-cooked and maintain their crunch.
- Instead of white pepper powder, you can add black pepper powder.
- Aromat Powder makes soups taste better and flavorful.
- Always add lemon juice at the end, else it gives some bitterness to the soup.
