TOMATO AND GREEN PEPPER SOUP WITH MOZARELLA TIKKA

I love to bake the soup ingredients especially in a foil to pack in all the goodness and nutrients in the foil. When the soup is made you get all the wholesome nutrients what your body needs. With the blend in the aroma of basil leaves and garam masala in this soup you get a different and unique taste.
