# I believe that health is wealth and food is the best medicine you can have, this soup is a blend of colorful vegetables, taste, flavor, rich nutrients that would boost your immunity, energize you and keep you healthy.
Watercress like Cauliflower, is a member of the cabbage family; but grows in water. The nutrients in water cress would strengthen bones, prevent osteoporosis and cancer; lower cholesterol; also good for the heart and blood vessels. Vitamins A and C , beneficial minerals such as potassium boost immunity. This hearty Comfort food is packed with disease fighting ingredients

Steps

30-40 mins

1

Prepare a checklist. Keep supplies close at hand.
2

Keep supplies close at hand.
3

Keep supplies close at hand. Cook the channa split in a bowl with 2 times water in a pressure cooker.. Boil water in a kadai (pan) over medium heat. Place in the steam basket. Place the cauliflower buds in it. Turn off the stove after the cauliflower florets become slightly soft. Take out the basket
4

Heat oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, add mustard seeds. Let it splutter- about 2 minutes. Then add cumin seeds, asafetida. Sauté onions, add green chilies, curry leaves, turmeric powder, ginger and garlic. When onion turns brown, 3-4 minutes add 3 cups of water. Add remaining vegetables except cauliflower, cover and cook until the vegetables get soft. Stir in cooked channa.. Bring it to boil. Add masala powder and stir. Simmer the fire.
5

Let all the flavors come together, about 4-5 minutes. Then add coconut milk and stir. Turn off the stove. Add salt. I use organic Himalayan pink salt. Mash the vegetables with a whisk or spoon. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
6

Always taste before serving. Serve hot or at room temperature. A small bowl of soup is a complete meal. What you see along with the bowl of soup are curry fruits and water cress. it is cold; very chilly. I have a severe cold and cough. remember the old saying-stuff the cold. There is nothing more satisfying and comforting than a hot soup loaded with flavor, aroma and rich nutrients. Enjoy
