Pepper Rasam Recipe with Tomato Soup

I was down with flu last weekend. Fever and cough made me tired and worn out. I always keep myself engaged with my busy toddler, household chores, art & craft works and much more. At times I push myself hard to finish lots of tasks at a time. Phew! Have to slow down and relax… it does affect my health!

I couldn’t get out of the bed on Sunday and was exhausted. Dear hubby made this hot soup style rasam for me. Ah… it was out of the world. We had a simple and tasty lunch. Hot steaming rasam and dhadhibojanam! Divine!!

Note: It’s really good to take yoghurt/curd even if you have cold/cough. My doctor always asks me to take yoghurt as it is the best probiotic food!
