Top 5 Hearty Soups to Try in Mumbai this Winter
Enjoy flavour-packed soups that keep you warm too
11 Dec, 2018 by Mini Ribeiro
The chill in the air in this season makes you ravenous. While woollens give you warmth, it is the hot bowl or cuppa soup that provides the ultimate comfort for your body and soul. Bubbling, rich and packed with wintry flavours, an aromatic hot soup can be the perfect healthy precursor to a meal in winter. Soups can be clear or with vegetables, meat and seafood, depending upon one’s preference. Interestingly, every cuisine offers soups. But of course, soups consumed in winter are a little different, owing to the use of ingredients that are meant to keep the body warm and strengthen the immune system. Restaurants in Mumbai offer enough options, across cuisines and there is a soup for everyone. My top 5 picks:
Laksa at Pa Pa Ya, Colaba
This traditional coconut flavoured broth, with a dash of lemon, is tantalising for the palate and exceedingly well-made. The spices appease the taste buds and it is the perfect choice for winter.
