* Soups |
|
My first week in America 30 years ago, brought me the surprising sight at my local supermarket of rows of colorful cans featuring pictures of steaming soup. Until just a week before, I had known only homemade soups, prepared from scratch just moments before they were served. Of course, in years to come, with two American-born and -raised children--whose lives were filled with school and camping activities--I came to realize the convenience of canned soup. But to me, soup is best when it's the result of imagining a blending of flavors, buying fresh seasonal vegetables and other ingredients (or making use of leftover refrigerated produce), combining them and spicing them the way my taste buds direct me that day. Serving and eating canned soup just doesn't give me the same satisfaction. Soups, in fact, are one of the easiest things to make, because once you put all the ingredients in the pot, they pretty much cook themselves. They showcase the cook's skill in preparing comforting foods, are easy to make for company, and are generally filling. Because Indian soups are often vegetable-based, they can be ideal foods for health-conscious people, who can first fill up on healthful soup and then easily eat less of the meats, breads, and fried foods featured as main courses. Most of my soup recipes are vegetarian, as is representative of Indian cuisine. Meat broths are just not common in India. You could, for flavoring, substitute all or part of the water in a soup with a meat or chicken broth--just make sure the quantity of liquid remains the same. Indian soups are generally served steaming hot. Chilled soups, though not an age-old concept, are gaining popularity in the urban areas, so I've included a few.
