Vegetable sweet corn soup: Tasty and filling


Balanced diet always includes a salad component. However, at night, many of us prefer soups, which can be substituted for salads. A soup that's widely ordered at restaurants after tomato soup is vegetable sweet corn soup. In the picture above, I have one chapati, ladies finger curry, chickpeas Jor garam, and soup. Today, I share the recipe of this healthy vegetable corn soup: 

  • In a thick pan, heat 1 cube butter and 1/2 tablespoon chopped ginger--and fry it for 1/2 a minute till the raw flavour disappears;
  • Add 1/2 a bowl of veggies: 1/2 a carrot, 7-8 French beans cut, 1/4 green bell pepper chopped, 1/2 cup sweet corn, and 1/4th cup sweet corn paste and stir fry for 2-3 minutes in medium high flame; 
  • Add 3 cups warm vegetable stock/warm water, salt and pepper to taste, cover and cook for 5 minutes till it boils in medium-high flame; (keep stirring now and then) 
  • Remove the froth using a spoon, if you prefer restaurant style soup;
  • In a small bowl, mix corn starch (3 tablespoons corn flour with 1/4 cup water) 
  • Add the corn starch to the boiling soup and mix well without lumps;
  • Add 1/4th teaspoon chilli sauce and 1/2 teaspoon vinegar;  
  • Then boil for 2 minutes again in medium-high flame; 
  • Add 3 tablespoons chopped spring onion and serve hot;
  • This serves 6 people. 
Here's a photo of the soup I prepared for my family and they simply loved it :)

My Year in books 2023--memorable journey

  I managed to read 18 books in 2023. Overall, it was an enthralling and magical experience. I almost lived with the characters in these books and in the places narrated. I read regularly back in school. Over the past few years, my interests were varied. I spent most of my time working. Health, wellness and music occupied most of my free-time. It was in 2022 that I began reading again. Being environed by readers, I picked up Sooley. I read a bit and moved to complete my lifetime favourite "The Class" by Erich Segal. It was the right book at the right time. It inspired hope and strength in me when I needed it the most. Ever since, there has been no looking back. I picked up one book after another. My schedule didn't permit me to read more than 18 books. But, I must say that I enjoyed each of the books. Hope to make more time for books in the coming year.  A few words on the ones that I read in 2023 1. John Grisham's  Sooley   Heart touching  2. Bill Bryson's...

Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice: Unputdownable

At the very beginning, the book transports us to Hertfordshire. The rapture in the Bennet household in Hertfordshire ensnares the readers. This is what makes the novel one of the best classics. The novel is about the Bennet family and Mrs Bennet’s sole aim to get her daughters settled in marriage with wealthy families.  Mr. and Mrs. Bennet have five daughters, all good-looking and endearing. Not having a male heir means the property will fall into the hands of a distant male heir. Unfortunately, this leaves the future of the five daughters to fate. The arrival of the wealthy and charming Mr. Bingley into the neighbourhood pulls up the hopes of Mrs. Bennet as she perceives him to be the perfect match for one of her daughters. Their acquaintance blossoms over time and Mr. Bingley develops fondness for one of the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet.
