Lemon Corinader soup

Lemon Coriander soup
-----------------------------

Many a times I cook for my daughter. She is only 9 but I must say she is a connoisseur of good food for her age. Yesterday I decided to make this soup for her. Since it was dinner time, I twisted it a little with some veggies as well. She prefers the creamy version where as I like the clear. That is why I did a two step process to make the soup. Here is a quick recipe.

Prep time: 5 min.
Cooking time : 10 min
Ingredients:
4-5 beans- finely chopped
3 -4 inch carrot- finely diced.
1 small onion- chopped
1 clove of garlic- minced
Ginger- grated- 1 tbs.
Lemon zest - 2 inch.
Coriander leaves- 2 tbsp.
Corn flour- 1 tbsp
1 green chili slit.

Steam carrot and beans.
Take 4 glass water and put in pan. Add ginger , lemon, green chili and coriander and cover to simmer.In a separate pan, saute onion and garlic with little oil and once translucent add corn flour mix and stir continuously until it comes to a boil. (for corn flour mix- take one tbs cornflour and add 1/2 cup water and mix).
Now add the half the boiled water to this mix. Add salt and pepper to taste.Since we have added the green chili earlier, be careful on the amount of pepper. Add steamed vegetables and serve hot. I got 2 cups of this soup.

For the clear version, we do not add the corn flour mix. So it is the boiled water with ginger etc and the steamed veggies.Again I two cups of this soup.
