Sweet Chili Chunky Vegetable Soup

chunky vegetable soup recipe | Halal Home Cooking
Salam Alaykum,

This time of year screams soup, soup and more soup! yes please i say and with not always meat in my fridge/freezer i have to look for ways of creating delicious soups from vegetables alone, this is where chili steps in to give your vegetables a kick in the right direction.



Me being a weakling when it comes to anything hot and spicy i choose to add baked beans, my favourite pregnancy snack that i usually munch on toast that are packed with sugar and spice and all things nice to balance the flavour and a sprinkling of sugar to the soup at the end won't go a miss because well for me the chili strength is overpowering, even i only used half a chili and at that it was de-seeded!

Like with everything i cook, rather than bake! i usually make it up as i go along because to be frank i rarely have all the ingredients i need for any one recipe at any one given time which i think most home cooks can relate to.

If you have fresh coriander it would look/taste well, chopped and scattered over this soup.
