Soups

Unless you have travelled to some of the harsh mountainous regions, it is hard to fully comprehend the bone-chilling cold and sometimes the scarcity of ingredients, as well as the soul-restoring powers of a truly humble bowl of soup.

Most cookbooks that delve into the cuisine of the subcontinent rarely have a full chapter dedicated to soups, so it was important to me to try to capture the diversity of soups from this region, as well as their life-giving nature. The recipes in this chapter are very considered. There is a full balanced diet right here. This chapter could sustain you, even if you didn’t have any teeth!
