Radish Soup

முள்ளங்கி சூப்

By Ganesan Kannan

40 mins Serves 5 Medium Madurai

Radish Soup made the Tamil kitchen way with 2 cups radish, diced — light, warming and full of clean, honest flavour.

Ingredients

Method

  1. 1

    Keep 2 cups radish, diced 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

    Boil the radish in the first water, discard it and cook again — this removes the sharp smell completely.

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