My Own Mixed Veggie Soup 🥕🍲
Description: At home, we are all down with cold. On the path of recovery, now though:) 2 days back when mom asked me to make carrot and leek soup, I walked into the kitchen with a running nose and after making this soup and drinking a bowlful in the kitchen, when I walked out, I felt I could breathe much better and I felt much stronger. I feel so happy that I made this soup all by myself, on my own, using my mind inspite of a horrid cold:) Try this soup when your down with flu/cold/fever. This will WORK LIKE MAGIC! You will be well in a day or two. Let me know if u try this n how u enjoy it.
