Hubby was suffering from a bad cold the whole week, so made this super quick and nourishing lemon coriander soup. Vitamin C is great for fighting cold and hence the idea! Added some veggies to make it nourishing and wholesome.

I had stock tablets handy hence the soup took only 7-10 minutes to make. If you don’t have a stock handy, you would need 15-20 more minutes to get the stock ready.

If you don’t have any stock handy, this is how you make one:
