So, I took it upon myself to cook it for her. After all, it is one of the simplest soups to make. The ingredients are simple and are available at home. I am sure these ingredients can be easily found in most kitchens too. Furthermore, it only takes about 10-15 minutes to cook up this soup. So if you are hard for time, this is the soup to go for.
