Mixed veggies clear soup with noodles

Soup season is here and all I want is a big bowl of delicious soup for lunch or dinner. Eating lots of delicious veggies is the key to a lot of natural vitamins and minerals. This soup is loaded with veggies and delicious Indo-Chinese flavours, we ate it two days in a row and no one complained :)

Since India is such vast country and China being our neighbour on the North eastern part we have a lot of Chinese influence when it comes to food, we absolutely love our Gobi manchurian (cauliflower florets deep fried and mixed with Chinese sauces and spices), Schezwan dishes, sweet and sour and many more. All these dishes are made in many popular chinese restaurants and takeaway in all major cities in India. You can read more about Indo-Chinese cruise here

It’s a very simple, easy soup and you can mix and match any vegetables of your choice, this could be a best way to use up any veggies sitting in the fridge and waiting to be used.

This soup is my take on the Indo-Chinese cuisine. Normally it doesn't have noodles in it, but since we were having this for lunch I wanted it to be a bit more filling. You can however skip the noodles and make this as just a mixed veggies soup. You can use any type of noodles you have at home, I have used the ramen noodles from the instant pack, any kind of noodles work well too. You can alter the taste accordingly to your taste buds.

When we had the first lockdown in Ireland I ordered fresh veggies from organic producers and we loved it. The taste is something else and I made this soup using all those veggies and it was so so delicious. You can go freestyle and alter the spices the way you like, add chilli flakes to spice it up if you like.
