ALMOND ORANGE SOUP

Recently I had a chance to taste this soup in Indego Restaurant, Kumbakonam.  I was impressed by its taste and appreciated them.   Surprisingly, the chef who prepared this soup, came to my place and conveyed his thanks for my appreciation.   I took the recipe from him and tried after returning to my place and came out well.  My husband liked it very much.  I enjoyed this with  my flat friends.

Really happy to share with you all.
