Somedays i dont feel like having rice or roti for lunch. I feel like having something light and filling. Soups are the things which i go for during that time. I made this soup few days back and had it with some crusty garlic bread. Hubby had it with varagu (kodu millet) idlies and loved it..Check my other soup recipes too..
