RED VELVET SOUP

Soup, a primary liquid food is prepared in combination of vegetables, meat, noodles etc. The word “soup” comes from French word “Soupe”. Soup is said to be as old as the history of cooking. Generally soups are served warm or hot, but there are few soups which are served cold. Piping hot soups are preferable in cold winter days. They are cozy, healthy, filling and warming.
