Indian Home-Style Mix Vegetable Soup

A lil’ bit of this, a lil’ bit of that Soup

On a freezing cold day like today and the Lord of weather pouring snow outside, a hot bowl of soup is a great soothing tonic for comfort when we need that warmth the most. A nice warm meal is something we want when the temperatures drop.

With the winter-weather warnings On and snow-storm emergencies declared, the school closure announcements done and adults working from home, it looks like a long weekend again.

Munchkin is busy watching KungFu Panda movie and hubby is busy playing office-office on his laptop, I am just trying to prepare a hot meal in the kitchen to keep everybody warm at home.

This stormy weather won’t let me go out and grab any special ingredients for the soup. So, I decided to throw together all the leftover veggies stocking up in my refrigerator into the Soup pot. That’s the reason I named this one as “A lil’ bit of this, a lil’ bit of that Soup”.

With the goodness of all the hearty veggies going in the pot, it’s going to be a “Goldmine of Nutrients” Soup Bowl this evening. So, put on your snuggly slippers and walk in the kitchen. I bet, the effort is going to be worth a warm treat of this super healthy bowl.

Ginger It up has been a superbly thought & well-executed blog. Seeing it among one of the most popular food blogs makes me feel proud. Mani Dee has come so far with this baby of hers. There are many blogs over the internet which provides recipes & numerous cuisines. What Ginger It up brings on the table is its niche which has been carved out by her. I loved the concept of bringing authentic Indian recipes & sharing an interesting experience along with. It was a very unique & good idea which gives the reader a sense of personalized touch & in a way the reader can form a connection with that.
Her passion for food & writing goes way back!! I wish this website a stupendous growth ahead in the upcoming year! Hope to see many new cuisines with that personalized experience! 🙂
