Garlic Soup is a comforting, flame-roasted garlic broth with a fresh herbal kick. Whole garlic cloves are skewered and roasted over direct heat, then peeled and simmered with sautéed onions in water. A muslin bundle of slit green chilli, ginger, coriander, and mint infuses the soup with gentle heat and fragrance, then is squeezed for extra flavor before removing. Rice flour slurry thickens it to a silky consistency, finished with lemon juice, salt, and pepper, and topped with chopped mint—perfect served hot with bread slices or a bun.

Hi Suchithra,

This is manju from bangalore .iwas try your recipes,from last three years,could this garlic soup is good for children under 3 years.
Thanks,

Hi Manjula,
For children under 3 needs more Nutrition and balanced diet. In addition to the usual diet, you can give garlic soup too. No harm in it. But for adults with this soup, just one bun or two slices of bread will do.
Hi,
Made it with Vegetable stock and it turned out very yummy. Enjoy it during cold chilly days.
Good idea to cook it with vegetable stock.
