Indian Soups – Simple, Soothing, and Straight from the Kitchen

There’s a quiet joy in stirring a pot of homemade soup, especially the kind we grew up with—light, flavorful, and full of comfort. Indian soups, whether it’s a gently spiced dal shorba, a tangy rasam, or a humble vegetable broth, have always had a place in our homes. These are not just starters; they’re warm bowls of love, often made with whatever is fresh and available, guided by the wisdom of our mothers and grandmothers. Balanced with spices and herbs, many of these soups carry health benefits too—helping with digestion, soothing colds, or simply warming us up after a long day. Here, I’m sharing some of those familiar, soul-satisfying recipes from my kitchen to yours.
