Very healthy soup with spinach. Looking very creamy too.
Healthy soup recipe with perfect color
wow.. never had this soup.. healthy .. :)
I'm curious what the corn flour is. In the US we have corn meal which is usually much coarser than flour. Perhaps you mean what we call corn starch, which is used as a thickener.
Yes, Anita, In India, what you call cornstarch is called cornflour. It is used for thickening and is a fine white powder.
Fantastic I dint add cream and still it turned out well
Tried it and came out well, I dint add cream still it was yummy
