This soup is broth-based and tastes great beating the winter blues. This is based similar to our aloo or aloo gobi curry. I have tried potato recipes from the north-eastern states of India. They are broth-based and yummy. The inspiration for this soup came from those potato curries. We started loving this and is often made in our home. Winter demands soups and soup-based meals. Necessity makes us tweak our usuals and have a wonderful meal and a great time with family. Also, this soup is vegan and is great on the menu for vegan guests.
This gets ready quickly and hence can make a great weeknight dinner. A piping hot bowl of this soup with garlic toasts is all you need. We even loved this with fried bread. I tried Tibetan style and this soup was perfect with that too! This can be great with rice too.
This month is National Potato Month and in our #SoupSaturdaySwappers, we are sharing soups based on potatoes. Potatoes are great comfort food, it can be the dish or a base providing delicious and lip-smacking food. I am linking this recipe for this event. Wendy is hosting this month's event.
