disolve cornflour in water and add to soup mixture, stirring continously

Re: Soups

yeah lussi, this would be for 5-6 people if it were a starter, and 2-3 people if the main course!

the water quantity would be 1 mug to each person

Re: Soups

Qrius any soup recipe is welcome. But I do prefer chicken soup recipes.

Meeni how much water according to chicken?

Re: Soups

if u have big pieces of chicken, then its, 1 mug of water per person, but it doesnt have to be accurate, coz at the end of the day, its the taste that counts(which is definately going to be present coz of the chicken)
