Golden Soup







Golden soup, as the name suggest is equal to eating gold, said the person from whom i learnt this recipe. Golden soup rejuvenates the body after a brief illness like fever and is a good food for the elderly. With less butter and pure veg ingredients this is a sinless soup that can be had during any time of the day. The croutons in the soup makes it more interesting and crave for more. 

the recipe

carrot - 1
tomato - 2
onion - 1
celery - 2 stalks
butter - 1 tbsp
salt - to taste
sugar - 1 pinch
pepper - 1/4 tsp (adjust to taste)
Milk - 1/4 cup - 1/2 cup
Croutons –  1 slice of a bread or as much as you need
Water – 1 cup

the method

Chop the tomato, onion and carrot into medium sized pieces. Cut the celery into tiny pieces.

Heat butter in a pan and stir in the onion, carrot and salt and saute for about three minutes. Stir in the tomato and sauté for a minute. Pour the water and cook till the vegetables are soft. Let it cool.

Remove the vegetables from the stock and place it in a blender and grind it to a smooth paste. Return the vegetable puree to the stock. Stir in the celery and cook for 2 minutes. Reduce heat and pour the milk. Adjust consistency. Add pepper and sugar. Check salt and pepper. Turn off heat.

Croutons – Cut the bread into small pieces and fry it in oil or place it on a greased griddle or place it in the oven at 180oC, for 6 minutes (3 minutes either side) to make it crispy.

Serve it in soup bowls or tea cups. Garnish with croutons.

Serves - 4
