Lemon Coriander Soup


Soups are my all-time favourite, especially on winter evenings and for dinner. Recently I bought quite a few packs of branded soup powders, among which one was that of Lemon Coriander Soup. I liked it so much that I decided to make a bowlful for myself. I used some leftover chicken stock for the base, but I think we can make it without chicken stock also.

Ingredients
  1. Chicken stock - 2 cups
  2. Fresh coriander, chopped [quantity depends on how much of the flavour you would prefer]
  3. Green chilly -1, finely chopped [optional]
  4. Lemon juice - 2 tbsp
  5. Salt to taste
  6. Sugar
  7. Cornflour
  8. Sweet corns, half cup [optional]

Procedure
  1. Simmer the chicken stock along with salt, sugar, half of the coriander leaves and green chilly.
  2. Wash the sweet corns , add to the boiling stock and allow to simmer for a couple of minutes.
  3. Mix a couple of teaspoonful of cornflour with water to make a free-flowing paste and mix with the chicken stock gradually to gain the desired thickness of the soup.
  4. Sprinkle the lemon juice and the remaining coriander leaves on top, and mix well.
  5. Serve hot with soup sticks.
