Lemon Coriander Soup

எலுமிச்சை கொத்தமல்லி சூப்

By Ganesan Kannan

35 mins Serves 4 Medium Tirunelveli

Lemon Coriander Soup made the Tamil kitchen way with 2 tbsp lemon juice — light, warming and full of clean, honest flavour.

Ingredients

Method

  1. 1

    Keep 2 tbsp lemon juice and the rest of the ingredients ready before you start.

  2. 2

    Heat the butter or oil in a heavy pot and sauté the onion until soft and translucent.

  3. 3

    Switch off the flame before adding lemon juice, otherwise the soup turns bitter.

  4. 4

    Pour in the stock, bring to a gentle simmer and cook until everything is tender; season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Ladle the lemon coriander soup into bowls and serve piping hot with a wedge of lemon or toasted bread.
