#SoupSalad - In my quest to make different types of soups, now it is the turn of Spring Onion Soup. Very easy and delicious, they can be relished as a light meal with bread croutons / soup sticks or as an appetizer. The consistency can be adjusted according to individual preference.

In this recipe, besides spring onions, I have also added coriander stems, Bengal gram lentil and tomatoes to thicken the soup and at the same time to give an intense flavour. So do try by checking a step by step method with pictures.
