Soups and salads ,has become part of my family now a days.Whenever, I run out of ideas, soups come handy.It has less calories compared to other greasy food. The key ingredient is broth. Never try to prepare soup without broth. The soup will not taste good,without broth.Yesterday, I prepared this soup along with some moist grilled chicken. It went very well.We can also add some chopped carrots,beans and peas. Add the corn flour accoring to the consistancy you want.Adjust the spice level according to your taste.I have still more soups in the to do list. Egg drop soup ,is one among them. Will try to psot it next week.
