  1. I’ve made this recipe many times, probably my favorite basic vegetable soup now!
    Only change I make is to add a little turmeric and hing(asafoetida). Thank you, Manjulaji!

  4. Dear Manjula ji, can this soup be prepared in pressure cooker?Please suggest the duration to pressure cook. I also would like to skip tomatoes due to stones problem. Please suggest an alternative.
