NOTES-

2. Adding herbs to the soup is completely optional. You can add pizza seasoning or just oregano.

3. Always let it cool down before grinding in the mixer otherwise it will be all over in the kitchen.

4. The creaminess in the soup actually comes from the potato. You can also add fresh cream 2 tbsp to make it more creamy.

5. Suppose you dont have an oven you can always boil your veggies and grind it all. Or you can roast them in a tandoor and then grind with water.

6. It is optional to strain your soup you can directly put it to boil.

PROCESS-
