Cooking Instructions (step by step)

Step 1: Preparing the Soup Base

🔺Start by heating olive oil in a pan over medium heat.                                                                  

🔺Once warm, add the finely chopped ginger, garlic, and green chili.                                         

🔺Sauté them for a minute until fragrant.                 

🔺Then, toss in the chopped onions and let them cook until they turn translucent. The aroma of these ingredients coming together is  simply irresistible!🤤

Step 2: Adding the Vegetables

🔺Now, add the chopped vegetables of your choice. (Carrots, mushrooms, and capsicum not only add color but also enhance the texture and nutrition of the soup.)                                                     

🔺Stir-fry them for 2-3 minutes, allowing them to retain a slight crunch.

Step 3: Building the Flavors

🔺Next, sprinkle in the tastemaker or your homemade spice mix, and pour in the water.

🔺Stir well to combine all the flavors. Let the soup come to a gentle boil, allowing the ingredients to infuse beautifully.

Step 4: Thickening the Soup

🔺A unique twist to this recipe is grinding some millet noodles into a fine powder and adding them to the soup. This acts as a natural thickening agent.

🔺Stir well and let it simmer for another 2 minutes.

Step 5: Cooking the Millet Noodles soup

🔺While the soup is simmering, boil some water in a separate pot and add a dash of olive oil.

🔺Drop in the millet noodles and let them cook for 4-5 minutes until soft yet firm. Drain and set aside.

Step 6: Final Touches and Serving

🔺Now, it’s time to bring everything together.

🔺Add the cooked noodles to the soup, mix gently, and let it all simmer for a final minute.

🔺Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.

🔺Garnish with fresh coriander or spring onions for a burst of freshness.
