A delicious, quick and easy soup recipe using maximum greens as the name suggests. This recipe was shared by Chef Devwrat Jategaonkar on a cookery show. I loved this recipe all the more because Chef Devwrat used a coarse paste of blanched corn along with a little cornflour paste for thickening the soup and yes it tasted really good. I thank him for sharing this quick and easy delectable recipe. I just tweaked the recipe a bit by adding a green chilli and a few drops of vinegar. I skipped adding cornflour paste. The soup had the consistency of a veg clear soup but it tasted yumm and yes this soup is good to soothe an aching throat too.
