‘Soup Making is Easy’ – I recently discovered this fact.

I despise purchasing ready to cook soup packets because it’s made of ingredients which are not healthy and I dislike the unfresh flavours of the ready to cook soups.

When I was cooking black-eyed beans for curry, I realized that black-eyed beans can be a great food for making soup – when merged with appropriate ingredients for flavour and also for additional essential nutrients.

Black-eyed peas are incredibly nutrient-dense, packing plenty of fiber and protein; also a good source of several important micronutrients, including folate, copper, thiamine, and iron. Black-eyed peas are high in polyphenols, which are compounds that act as antioxidants in the body to prevent cell damage and protect against disease. (Source of Information: healthline.com)

Chicken meat mainly incorporates high quality proteins into our diet.

Black-eyed beans have mild-sweet and organic flavour, this flavour combines best with the flavour of chicken; both these food ingredients are powerhouse of nutrients, these two flavours need a combining flavour of whole spice to add vitality to the soup – that is called tempering/tadka; to know more, read the recipe …

This recipe is the combination of three intellectual capability – creativity, logical reasoning and knowledge, this is my first recipe in soup making – all thanks to my son who often pestered me to purchase ready to cook soup packets.

I consider this soup a true marvel in my recipe creating skill, so ‘Cheers to Good Health’.

Black pepper has been deemed the “king of spices” and used in ancient Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years due to its high concentration of potent, beneficial plant compounds. Black pepper is rich in a plant compound called piperine, which test-tube studies have found to have potent antioxidant properties. (Source of Information: healthline.com)
