Carrot Ginger Soup

A winter special, carrot is packed with health benefits that we must reap all through the season - and one of the best ways of doing that is by having a warm bowl of soup. It comes with the added benefits of ginger that is known to be one of the best remedies for cold, which is common during the season.

Cauliflower Soup

Hear me out on this one before you automatically count out this soup because you see the word 'cauliflower.' I, too, was initially skeptical of this soup because cauliflower and soup don’t sound like they would go well together, but as soon as I had my first bite, it was heavenly. This soup honestly tastes like a soup version of mashed  potatoes — it is the cosiest soup that will heal you of any daytime  troubles or chills.

Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Soup

Nothing screams comfort like a big bowl of fresh chicken soup on a chilly night. It's like a warm hug for the soul. This creamy chicken soup recipe is not only insanely delicious but also chock full of protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

Beetroot Soup

Nothing beats the seasonal vegetable! Beetroot is a winter must, packed with multiple nutrients and when combined with bottle gourd and a whole lot of spices, there is nothing that can come close. With a hint of salt and pepper, beetroot soup can be served both cold or hot.

Mulligatawny Soup

An Anglo-Indian dish, Mulligatawny is a Tamil word that translates to pepper-broth. This delicious soup is a hybrid of soup and rasam and is prepared with a whole lot of pepper. It is usually based on chicken stock but can also have a vegetable stock along with coconut milk, cinnamon, tamarind, and a host of spices.
