How do I describe soup?
I describe soup as rich, savoury, hearty, filling, comforting, creamy, tangy, satisfying, energizing, bright, healthy and delicious. In other words, a bowl of HAPPINESS!
Why do I love making soup around winter months?
- So cozy! There is something about curling up onto the couch and having a bowl of some hot soup.
- Brings on the heat! Imagine treating yourself to a warm and cozy bowl of delicious soup after shovelling off all the snow from the driveway.
- Comfort + healthy = SOUP! I don’t think I need to explain this one.
- Versatile ingredients: You can literally throw any vegetables and protein into a pot together and turn them into a bowl of hearty soup.
- Best for meal preps.
- A healthy side dish for all the holiday food.
- The colours! A bright, colourful soup can cheer you up and add some sunshine to those gloomy, winter days.

Grilled Cheese
- 16 slices bread
- 8 slices cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
Soup
- Heat olive oil in a pot and add cumin seeds, coriander seeds and chopped garlic to it. Sauté until fragrant.
- Add diced onions and cook for about 5 to 6 minutes on medium heat. Stir occasionally.
- Rinse sweet corn kernels under water and add to the pot. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add diced tomatoes, lime juice and all the spices (salt, black pepper, garam masala, turmeric powder, garlic powder, red chilli powder). Mix everything and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Pour vegetable broth, mix and bring it to a boil. Do a taste test, add more salt, if needed.
- Lower the heat to low, cover with a lid and let it simmer for at least 40 to 45 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Garnish with finely chopped spinach.
Grilled Cheese
- Preheat skillet on medium heat.
- Spread butter on one side of a bread. Place it on the skillet with butter-side-down.
- Put a cheese slice on that piece of bread. If you prefer more cheese, add 2 slices. Take another piece of bread, spread butter on one side and place butter-side-up on top of the cheese.
- Grill until the bottom piece is crispy, golden brown and flip over. Continue to grill until the cheese melts and the other side is golden brown as well. (Cover the pan with a lid for a minute to speed up the process of melting the cheese.)
- Repeat with more slices of bread.
- Cut the sandwich in half and serve with hot, sweet corn soup!
