Tom Yum Soup (Thai Soup) تھاۂی سوپ recipe by morEwish

 

Tom yum is probably the most popular and famous Thai soup for all good reasons. Its simple, delicious and healthy! The soup is served piping hot and the forward flavors are sour and spicy. In Thai, “tom” translates into “boiled” and “yum” refers to the traditional sour, salty, and spicy flavor of an array of Thai dishes.

There’s two different types of Tom Yum Soup: Clear Tom Yum Soup (Tom Yum Goong Nam Sai); and
Creamy Tom Yum Soup (Tom Yum Goong Nam Khon) which is made from the clear version with the addition of evaporated milk and a good hit of Thai Chilli Paste.

I personally like both equally so I don’t play favourites. The creamy version has a slightly bigger flavour punch because of the addition of the chilli paste, while evaporated milk changes the appearance.

Potato Soup آلو کا سوپ with Garlic Bread Grill Cheese Sandwich recipe by morEwish

Crisp cool air, beautiful color foilage, layered clothing and a bowl of hearty warm soup!  To be more specific Potato soup with crispy garlic cheese toast. This easy potato soup is creamy and luxurious! 

I love that it’s something everyone in my family can agree on and get’s excited about when I tell them it’s what’s for dinner. I also love that I usually have all the ingredients on hand to make it. You can serve this soup brothy or thick and blended. My family love both and making them is the same except for the last step. For a thick, luxurious, and blended soup use a potato masher or immersion blender to puree or mash about half or two thurd of the potatoes in the soup to thicken it.

To make it a complete meal, I served it with cheesy garlic toast. You can serve ir with crackers or with any plain bread as well or just a garlic bread would do. But this bread is bomb, its a cheese sandwich with garlic spread and toasted to perfection

Chicken Noodle Soup 🍵 recipe by morEwish

Today I made comforting bowl of hearty soup - Chicken Noodle Soup. Perfect for cold weather, and especially good if you are fighting off a cold or flu. There are probably as many ways of making chicken noodle soup as there are moms who make it.

Try this easy chicken noodle soup recipe that comes together in just 25 minutes. My version of the ultimate feel-good food, Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup is full of vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions. Slowly cooking a chicken, fragrant herbs, and fresh vegetables in chicken broth rather than water imparts a rich flavor to this soup.
