teaspoon

14
oz
vegetable soup of choice (I like vegetarian minestrone or barley and vegetable soups, but feel free to use any kind you like)

pinch
hing (asafaetido)
red chili powder, to taste
salt, to taste
oil
Toppings

tomatoes, diced
¼
cup
onions, diced
lemon juice

Instructions
Prep the topping ingredients by chopping tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and make the chutney (optional). Prep the sev by opening the bag.
Open the cans of soups.
Heat a pot with some oil and add cumin seeds. Let them pop and then add a pinch of hing.
Gently pour the soup into the pot. Add water if you prefer a thinner consistency (I like to keep it thick and hearty).
Add garam masala and red chili powder. Let the soup come to a simmer.
Add chopped tomatoes and cilantro to the pot. Mix it together.
Keep the soup warm until ready to serve.
Top with a squeeze of lemon juice, chopped tomatoes, onions, cilantro, chili peppers, and handfuls of crispy sev.
Enjoy!
