Today we begin yet another edition (#26) of Blogging Marathon, the brain child of Srivalli. There were some tricky themes to choose from and I hope to present some interesting, lovable and hearty recipes.
For the first week, I chose 'Pasta' as the main ingredient to present a soup, a rice based dish and a savory snack. So for Day 1 week 1 BM #26, here is a hearty soup when paired with some bread or croutons can make for a delightful supper specially on a wintry evening!!
Adapted from here
