My mom tips-

• Always add milk in soup when heat is low otherwise it may curdle the soup.
• Never overcook veggies while making soup because it may reduce the nutrition of veggies.

• Use fresh cream if you use milk in your soup, it will enhance the taste of soup.

• Cut veggies very finely in soup for good taste.

• Use ginger and garlic in your soup for good taste as well as good for health.

I am sure, that you will be happy to make this awesome soup and enjoy winter.
