Lemon Coriander Soup

Lemons are a rich source for Vitamin C and I was tired of just drinking lemon juice with warm water. So, with some little vegetables, lemon juice and lots of coriander, I made lemon coriander soup at home!

Ingredients

  • 2 Tsp Oil
  • 2 Garlic Cloves (finely chopped)
  • 1-inch Ginger (finely chopped)
  • 2 Tbsp Coriander Stem (finely chopped)
  • 1 Cup – White Onion, Carrot, Cabbage and Sweet Corn (all finely chopped)
  • 3 Cups Water
  • Salt to Taste
  • 1/2 Tsp Pepper Powder
  • 1 Tbsp Cornflour
  • 3 Tbsp Coriander (finely chopped)
  • 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice

Preparation

Prep: 10 minutes
Cooking: 10 minutes

  1. In a large kadhai, heat oil and sauté garlic and ginger. Then sauté onion and coriander stems for a minute.
  2. Now add carrot, cabbage and sweet corn. Sauté for a minute without overcooking. Add 2 ½ cup water, salt as per taste and pepper powder.
  3. Mix well and boil for 5 more minutes. Prepare the cornflour slurry by mixing cornflour and ¼ cup water. Mix well making sure there are no lumps.

I've always lived with my Nana-Nani and my Nani makes amazing food so I barely cook. I recently graduated as a Software Engineer and before I could look for a job, the pandemic broke and we were all under lockdown. The search came to a halt and the anxiety about the future hit me hard. I had to get out of that feeling so I diverted my mind into exercising, yoga, meditation and even cooking. I started with helping my Nani by chopping vegetables, making tadkas, kneading soft doughs and in no time, I was rolling round chapatis. Cooking kept my mind in the present and made me patient and consistent. My Nani is glad that I don’t make a mess while cooking anymore, that gives her great joy. My Nanaji says that he doesn’t have to go out to a restaurant because I can cook almost everything. Now I don’t want to stop cooking. Thank you, Lockdown!
