Mixed Vegetable Soup

Most of us prefer to start off with an appetizer,whenever we dine out.Soups are the best appetizers to start with.There is nothing like having a hot bowl of soup on a rainy day with some snacks to go along with it ;)
This particular recipe is for my favorite Vegetable soup.

Time: Making Time (15 mins)

Difficulty level: Easy

Ingredients:
  • Finely chopped mixed veggies - 1 cup (Carrots,Cauliflower,Green peas,Beans,Potato)
  • Onion - 1 finely chopped
  • Garlic - 2 or 3 flakes (Optional)
  • Milk - 1 medium-sized cup
  • Butter - 2 tsp
  • Maida - 1 tbsp
  • Water - 1 cup
  • Salt - to taste
  • Pepper - to taste
  • Mint leaves - to garnish
Preparation:
  1. Boil the vegetables in water until they are cooked. Add a pinch of salt to it, as it helps cook faster.
  2. In a pan,heat the butter and fry the chopped onions until it turns pink. If you like the flavor of garlic,add 2-3 crushed flakes to the onions and fry.
  3. Now make a fine paste with the maida flour and a little milk. 
  4. Add this paste and rest of the milk to the fried onions along with the other cooked veggies.
  5. Mix well and simmer until the raw smell disappears.
  6. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Garnish with a little cream and Mint leaves.Serve hot
Chef's tip - The water used to boil the veggies can be used to make the soup. Adding maida helps in giving the creamy texture to the soup,skip it if you dont like.
