Now, the exact ingredients of instant French onion soup mix depend on the brand, but it's generally made of onion flakes, onion powder, garlic powder, dried parsley, and beef bouillon granules.

This golden soup is a modern take on my grandmother’s chicken soup, seasoned with ginger, turmeric and a pinch of red chili ...

Feel free to experiment with this soup; you can add a few parsnips or turnips to the carrots, a spoonful of curry powder, a little extra ginger, or some lemongrass, if you have some on hand.

Add the garam masala, turmeric and chilli powder and stir briefly ... Add the coconut milk and simmer until the soup thickens slightly, or until it reaches your desired consistency.
