Celery Soup

     Soup is anything that extracts flavor from a product by letting it soak in broth. One of the popular starters all over the world is made with a wide variety of vegetables. So here in this recipe celery is the vegetable that will be used to extract its flavors into a broth. Celery is a marshland plant that has long fibrous stalks tapering into leaves. Its stalks and leaves are edible and used in cooking in various countries. Recently celery has been considered healthy as it has low calories, filled with water, provides antioxidants and fiber.

Mushroom and corn Soup

          Creamy Mushroom and sweet corn soup are one of the easiest soups that you can make..it is not only delicious but easy to make. It is so flavourful...you will want to make it again and again. I never liked mushrooms since I did not eat this from childhood in India. But when we moved to the USA...Vegetarians like us have to keep up our vitamin d levels due to extreme winters..and mushroom is the only source of vitamin D in the produce aisle that is available to us along with the sunlight (very rare in winters). So occasionally we like to eat Organic Edible Mushrooms. Here I have used organic Cremini mushrooms in this recipe.     Mushrooms and sweet corn are like a match made in heaven. They blend together very well. Also, the onion and garlic enhance the taste of this soup. This can be made with minimal ingredients that are all at home. This doesn't require any milk or whipping cream. So it's low in fat content. Perfect with toasted bread/garlic breadsticks.
