W ho doesn’t like a hot steaming cup of soup on a cold evening. After coming to this new place, our hunger pangs have increased and so we are munching on something or the other all the time. Junk, unhealthy, healthy,... anything goes :-) So to reduce the junk intake, I thought of preparing some delicious healthy dishes and one among them is this amazingly lovely smooth silky soup made out of garlic. We all know that garlic has so many medicinal benefits and is a very good immune booster.I thought this would be a perfect soup for my husband who is a big garlic fan and so I googled many recipes and got this method, which is very simple and which requires noodles, that is a perfect for my daughter who is crazy about noodles in any form. Just try this out and I bet nothing feels as warm and comforting like a hot bowl of garlic soup.
