Vegetable soup - A comfort food and a MEME

We are just recovering from the fever and exhaustion from a short but a tedious trip to India. I did not want to make rasam anymore which was nice but had become boring now. So today I tried making vegetable soup, which was quite filling and soothing for our sore throats.
Vegetable soup does not require any specific preparation or a particular recipe.Everyone has their own style of preperation to meet their taste and requirements. This is how I made.
Ingredients-
Chopped vegetables
Carrot- 1
capsicum-1
Cabbage- 200gms
French beans- 12 in no.
Onion- 1 chopped
Garlic - 2 to 3 finely chopped
Ginger- A small piece chopped
Green chillies- 1
White pepper- 1 tsp
Black pepper- 1 tsp
salt- to taste
sugar- 1tsp
Cornflour- 1 tsp mixed in little water
Olive oil- 1tsp
Butter- 1tsp
Cream - 1tsp
water- 5 cups
Method-
Add olive oil and butter in a pan. Then add ginger garlic and green chillies and then the onions and saute till they turn translucent. Then stir in all the chopped vegetables. Add the pepper,salt and sugar. Mix in 5 cups of water and cook till all the vegetables turn tender/soft. Then thicken the soup by adding the cornflour and mix well. Add little cream on the top.Serve hot.


Long time ago, LG of Taste of Mysore had tagged me for a MEME. Here is something about me.
1. 5 places I have lived in
Pune,Bhavnagar,Gurgaon,Aurangabad, Singapore. Out of which I have spend maximum years in Aurangabad.
2. I never like cooking initially. But now I think I spend most of the time in kitchen!!! And writing a food blog is something which I would't have even dreamt of...My mother would have been the happiest person if she had been alive today.
3. I basically like to keep my home neat and clean. I get very disturbed if things are not organised. But nowadays , my home is a mess usually running after my one year old baby.
4. I like making friends and chatting for hours together though I take sometime to open in the beginning.
5. I think twice before spending and at the same time do a lot of shopping too. Basically I am good at managing accounts. My hubby calls me home finance manager!!!:))
