It has a salty, tangy and refreshing taste that is enjoyable in all four seasons. Have it with some crispy toasted brown bread, and you will have a lovely wholesome meal.

Soup is a great alternate when my children grow weary of daal (lentil). I must mention that I do not have as many episodes wherein my kids really refuse the food I serve them, not because they taste so good, but because I am blessed with darling kids. I never had to face many tantrums, regarding food or anything else, as others speak of their children.

The lemon and coriander combination is really loved in my house. I do not feel the inclination for feeding my family what they don’t like, all in the sake of good health. And you shouldn’t too. Therefore, I intend to share customizable recipes at large. Choose your favorite vegetables for this soup, but keep in mind whether that goes well with the coriander and lemon. If you like a mushroom, it will go very good for this soup. Others can be cauliflower, broccoli, and raw papaya.

I love soup and just last week I also published vegetable sweet corn soup and Vegetable Manchow Soup which all of you liked. Just like sweet corn soup this soup recipe is also very easy and yummy. I have used green chilly to make it spicy but if you are making this for the kids then you can skip it.

I learnt this soup recipe from my aunty in Gorakhpur. She prepare this simply awesome. Wish i could too. But I have tried to give it the taste like my aunt’s recipe.

It amuses me how everything is available in the market nowadays, in a packaged processed form, from vegetable stock to lemon juice. And what amazes me the most, is that people solely rely on those, and throw away the “real” vegetable stock they get. Anyways, to each one his/her own, but what I do is make my own stock and a bottle of it perpetually stays in my fridge, that I update every few days. I use whatever vegetables I get to make it. I usually buy organic vegetables and fruits, from the local market, and avoid off-season veggies, as they are usually chemical treated. I venture to super market to buy the “super discounted” grocery stuffJ.

I am not using any oil and spice tempering in this recipe. If you like, you can give it a garlic tempering. I am also using Maggi cubes for added taste you can skip that too. You can add some flat noodles in it as well. My advice to you when making this soup is keep the salt in check, and always taste it 2-3times before adding more salt.

I have used coriander (dhaniya patta) and celery stalk which you can easily buy from your local market. It adds to the flavor. But you can skip celery, if you don’t want. Follow these steps to make an awesome lemon coriander soup at home.
