This soup is not just served in the finest of restaurants but also on street stalls all over India. In this recipe all the ingredients are finely chopped and are simmered in a spicy, salty and sour soup base and topped with deep fried noodles whats not to love? This recipe is vegetarian, but you can easily make this non veg by using Chicken stock and adding in diced Chicken. Or, you can just add cooked chicken to the veg soup, the choice is up to you. I have plenty of Vegetarian friends with Non Vegetarian family members, so this is a great option.
