Spicy Salsa Bean Soup

Soups can either be kind or kindling, and this one is of the latter style! Pepped up with oregano and chilli flakes, this spicy soup features an iron-rich combination of rajma and Mexican salsa. Blanched and finely chopped tomatoes make the soup super tangy, and also impart a lasting good mouth-feel. The Spicy Salsa Bean Soup is indeed a fitting prelude to a heavy meal.

Preparation Time: 10 minutes. Cooking Time: 6 minutes. Serves 4.

Ingredients
¾ cup soaked and boiled rajma (Kidney bean)
2 tsp olive oil
1½ tsp finely chopped garlic (lehsun)

1 cup blanched and finely chopped tomatoes
1½ tsp dry red chilli flakes
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp tomato ketchup
3 cups basic vegetable stock
Salt to taste

For the garnish
2 tbsp finely chopped spring onion greens
2 tbsp grated mozzarella cheese (optional)

Method
1. Heat the oil in a deep non-stick pan, add the garlic and spring onion whites and saute on a medium flame for a minute.
2. Add the tomatoes, chilli flakes, oregano and tomato ketchup, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
