On a cold wet night, after all the stressful hours at work, the thought of a bowl of hot and spicy soup eases me off and keeps me warm and cosy. A perfect bowl of soup is a blend of few simple ingredients, complimenting each other and when simmered bringing out all the wonderfull flavours of every single ingredient, I must say it stirs my soul.

In this soup recipe, I have used veggies like turnips, parsnip, cauliflower and white onions. Each of these veggies have its own special flavour and together stands out and makes the soup super delicious.
