Weather is cooling down here when rest of the world is warming up. And that means soups are back on the menu. Last week I decided on this Indian style chicken soup which I always loved. To be honest, I have been looking for this recipe for quite a while now, but with no success. So I made up my mind to recreate it with the help of a few basic soup ingredients and my taste buds. I wasn’t expecting anything superb, but it turned out to be a winner 🙂
