This one is a helathy & refreshing one during summer. This soup is made with Indian spices but the taste can be improved with few western vegetables too.

Coriander leaves - few
Ginger - One small piece
Hing - 1/2 tspn
Oil - 2 tbspn
Celery - 1/2 stick
Black salt - 1/4th tspn
Orange -1/2 No'
Yoghurt - 1 cup.
Wash, Peel & cut the carrots, celery. Heat oil in a vessel (You can use olive oil instead of veg oil)
Add cumin seeds & ginger then add celery. Stir it for a while; then add carrots & add some water.Cook the carrots
NOTE: DO NOT OVER COOK THE CARROTS; AS IT LOOSES THE COLOUR.
By using a mixer/ blender; make it in to a fine paste & then strain it. Chill it down. Add black salt, orange juice & finely chopped coriander.Adding ornage juice will give the slight sweeter taste & more refreshing.
Pour it in small glass/ cup with a spoon of yoghurt on top. Serve chilled.
CHEF'S TIP : Use chat masala if you dont have black salt.
