Spring Onion Alfa-Alfa Soup

I love having soups any time of the day. Soups of any kind just excite me to no end. Sadly though, I have never tried my hands on any thing apart from Veg Soup, Sweetcorn Soup, Mushroom Soup and Pumpkin Soup. I had a bunch of spring onion lying around in the fridge for 5 days. I had plans to make something out of it, which never saw the day light. Today, as I was getting bored I thought why not make a soup and boom!!!! I had an idea.. why not make spring onion soup? I started preparing it, which is very easy. While I was almost finishing, I thought why not put the alfa-alfa sprouts to good use. I love these sprouts that look so cute and taste wonderful too. I like the crunch of these little sprouts and they definitely added flavour to my soup.

Recipe:

Ingredients:

• Spring Onion - a bunch
• Chopped Onion - 2 tbsp
• Oil - 1 tsp
• Chopped garlic - 2 tsp
• Water - 1.5 cups
• Milk - ½ cup

• Pepper Powder - 1 tsp
• Alfa-Alfa Sprouts (can omit if not needed) - 2 tbsp

Preparation:

1. Take a pan and hat oil.
2. Add garlic and chopped onion, saute until golden brown.
3. Add chopped spring onions (remove the roots) and saute only until they are shrunken. Green color should be retained.
4. Let the mixture cool completely and then add grind it into a smooth paste.
5. Put it back into the pan and add the water and milk.
6. Add salt, pepper powder and bring the soup to boil.
7. Switch off the flame and add the alfa alfa sprouts. They will be cooked in the heat of the soup while maintaining the crunch.
