Ginger Garlic Soup

Recipe: Ginger Garlic Soup

Ginger Garlic Soup is a comforting, soothing, nutritious and easy to make soup. This soup recipe calls for an extra amount of fresh ginger and garlic. The vegetables are chopped up finely so that the soup is ready in 10 mins and also makes it easier to sip from a mug or cup. You know how chicken soup is recommended for colds, coughs and flu, well this Ginger Garlic Soup for the vegetarians. Gluten free, vegan and it uses only 1 tsp oil so that the ginger and garlic can be sauteed.

 

I think it took longer to chop the veggies than to make the actual soup. I would recommend using a chopper to chop the vegetables as they have to be pretty fine. Some of the ginger garlic soup recipes have no veggies except for ginger, garlic and coriander. Some add noodles. I have always liked the Tarla Dalal version which includes a bit of cabbage, carrot and green beans. This is my go to soup for colds and coughs. Did you know that ginger has anti – inflammatory properties and helps sooth sore throats. Garlic is good for colds. For other ailments Mum’s Vegetable Soup is the answer.

Ingredients Required For Ginger Garlic Soup

Ginger

Peel and grate the ginger or chop it finely. You need about 1 tbsp.

Garlic

Depending on how small or large the garlic cloves are, we need 2-3. Peel and chop it finely or use a garlic press. We need about 1 tbsp garlic.

Green Beans

Wash and trim the ends. Finely slice the beans as thin as possible. Using a big knife, chop the slices roughly. We need about ½ cup finely chopped green beans. I used about 7-8 green beans.

Cabbage

Grate the cabbage using the larger side of a box grater. Alternately, cut the cabbage into thin slices and chop it up again using a big knife. Should have about ½ cup very finely chopped cabbage.

Carrot

Peel and cut the carrot into cubes. Using a big knife chop it again till it is fine. Need about ½ cup.

Water/Stock

About 4 cups.

Cornflour | Cornstarch

Need about 1½ -2 tbsp. Before adding it to the soup towards the end, prepare a slurry. Add about 2-3 tbsp water and mix well.

Salt

Add according to your taste. Also if you are using ready made stock, it may contain some salt so taste before adding more.

Pepper

Black pepper powder helps to loosen up the cough and gives relief. It has expectorant properties. Add according to your taste.

Fresh Coriander | Cilantro

Adds flavour to the soup. 2-3 tbsp chopped coriander is enough.

Oil

Need 1 tsp oil. Can use any vegetable oil, olive oil or sesame oil.

Soy Sauce

Optional. Can serve on the side.
