Onion & Parsley Soup

From few days I am down with flu. Even I couldn’t go to office on Friday. Luckily we have a long weekend, so I hope I will be able to recover completely by Tuesday (Hopefully). :)

I can say I didn’t cook during past days, but I tried to prepare some soups as me & hubby both are soup lovers.

I had half bunch of parsley in the freezer & now it is time to use it & buy fresh parsley for the next month. This soup is a result of it.

I experimented with parsley & onion. Anyway the taste was so good & I loved it even I didn’t have appetite.

Here is the recipe

Ingredients (2 servings)

1 large onion sliced

1 cup of parsley- chopped

1 cup fresh milk

1 cup water

1 tbspn corn flour

1 tbspn butter

½ cube of a vegetable stock dissolved in ½ cup of water

Salt & pepper to taste

Method:

Heat butter in a pan, when it is melted, add sliced onion.

Sauté for about 5-10 minutes in low flame.

Then add chopped parsley & sauté for another 5 minutes.

Slowly add & mix corn flour.

Then add vegetable stock

Mix well.Simmer for about 5 minutes.

Allow to cool down & blend the mixture.

Re-heat the mix adding 1 cup water.

When water starts boiling, add fresh milk.

Stir well & adjust salt & pepper.

Remove from flame & serve hot.
