The ‘Throw-In Whatever You Can Lay Your Hands On’ Soup

I LOVE soups! Not the kind of stuff you get in the US but the Indo-Chinese version ;)

When I make it at home, I just thrown in whatever I can lay my hands on, some sauce and herbs… and bam! Soup ahoy!

If you’re too lazy to cook, this is a great option because it’s A) easy B) quick C) nutritious (unless you decide to add cheese and bacon and whatnot) and D) scrumtilicious!

(Note to Chech: This won’t kill you… hopefully :D )

Water – 3 cups
