Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable refined oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • ½ tablespoon minced ginger
  • 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon green onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small size onion, finely chopped
  • 1 Cup mixed vegetables (carrot, cabbage, mushroom), shredded
  • ¼ Cup finely chopped green beans
  • 3 Cup vegetable stock (get recipe)
  • 1 tablespoon cornflour (cornstarch)
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed black pepper or to taste
  • 100 gram paneer (cottage cheese), cut into cubes
  • handful of fresh coriander leaves, chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  • Add minced garlic, ginger, celery, and green onion. Sauté for 1 minute or until fragrant. No need to brown them.
  • Stir in the chopped onions and cook until they turn translucent.
  • Add shredded vegetables to the pot. Saute for a minute.
  • Pour in the vegetable stock. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Combine cornstarch with ¼ cup of water and make a smooth slurry. Add it to the simmering soup. Stir nicely to combine and avoid lump formation.
  • Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld together and become slightly thick. Do not overcook the soup.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice. Add the freshly chopped coriander leaves and finely diced paneer. Mix well.
  • Serve lemon coriander soup warm.

Notes

  • Lemon coriander soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To adjust the consistency, reheat it gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or stock if needed.
  • Adding cornstarch for thickening is optional. The soup tastes good and comforting even without starch. 
  • Do not add lemon while boiling or simmering the soup. It might become bitter.
