Chicken Soup for the Vegetarian Soul

Posted in food, India at 23:28

So I seem to have come down with a bit of a cold.  The family I’m staying with is vegetarian, but Auntie prepared the South Indian equivalent of chicken soup–rasam.  Rasam is usually eaten mixed with rice, and contains a number of beneficial herbs.  Why do we eat chicken soup when we’re sick anyway?  Why not vegetable beef or cream of celery?

    You must get the recipe & post it on here! While I’m not
    even remotely close to vegetarian, I never cook any meat or
    poultry at home, so I’d love to know a good soup recipe for next
    cold & flu season!
