Indian Vegetable soup

Indian Vegetable Soup

I cooked this clear soup with information gathered from two lovely Indian ladies I met while buying the vegetables from Little India after a visit to Waterloo Street with my family. This soup was light and taste quite similar to the potato soup I boiled with spareribs except that it was flavoured with chilli powder.
