Red Radish Soup

In a pressure cooker, heat the oil and butter and sauté the cloves for a few seconds. Add the onions, radish, cabbage, green chillies, ginger and garlic and fry for about 5 minutes.

Pour in some water to cover the vegetables and pressure cook for one whistle. Once the pressure drops, drain the vegetables and collect the vegetable broth in a saucepan.

Remove the cloves, garlic, green chillies and ginger piece and blend to a fine paste. Pour this paste to the broth in the saucepan, add sufficient water and salt and bring to boil.

Once it comes to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. Taste the soup for salt and if needed add some pepper.

Garnish with the chopped green onions and radish slices and serve hot with toasted bread or croutons.
