22 Healthy Indian Soup Recipes for Every Season

Is soup at your home always tomato or sweet corn, made from a packet? Indian kitchens have a huge soup tradition, from rasams and shorbas to dal soups and millet broths, but most of us only remember two or three of them.

So we put together 500+ Healthy Soup Recipes: 11 books of shorbas, rasams, dal and lentil soups, millet bowls, clear broths and kid-friendly soups. Below are 22 soups from inside the collection, two from almost every book.

Why These Soup Recipes Actually Work

Every soup is made from everyday Indian ingredients: dals, lauki, methi, palak, tomato, ragi, jowar, coconut milk and whole spices, with no packet mixes or cornflour-heavy restaurant shortcuts. The books are sorted by need, from Traditional Indian Shorbas & Rasams to Kids & Family-Friendly Soups and Millet & Ancient Grain Soups, and every recipe lists amounts, numbered steps, servings, cook time and the best time to eat it.
