#CA26 - This is a very refreshing, soothing and a tangy soup to wind up your day. Have it as a light dinner along with some croutons, breadsticks or any grilled stuff. It is both a healthy and a wholesome option. You have the goodness of vitamin C, the flavors of the coriander leaves and the nutritional benefits of the stems, a wide variety of veggies and paneer. Lemongrass is also added to enhance the fragrance of the soup.
