Ingredients

  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped fine

Make it step by step

  1. In a thick bottomed pan heat the oil and add fry the garlic till crisp.
  2. Add the onion and fry till translucent.
  3. Add 4 -5 cups of water and bring to a boil.
  4. Add the grated potato. At this point I switched off the gas and dipped the immersion mixer and blended the soup till it was quite smooth.
  5. Boil well.
  6. Just before serving add the palak/spinach, carrot, capsicum, green chilies and grated cheese.
  7. Swirl and serve hot. Today we are having it just plain but you can serve it with toast or garlic bread or cheese toast.
  8. P.S. All that are marked optional are my additions you can make do without them but are recommended.
  9. Enjoy!!
