Moong Dal Soup

This is my dadi's recipe and it is super simple yet tastes lovely. This is what we had in the winters when there was no Swiggy or ordering in. This is what we had when we had a cold or a fever and this is what I give my son too as it has protein, carbs and fats. Low in masala too but so nice. 

If you are looking at a spicy or more exotic type of soup then try this
