I love enjoying hot cup of tea or soups. I decided to make some dal shorba and combine it with pumpkin. I have used red lentil to make this soup and used mild spices. The addition of pumpkin adds a light sweetness to this soup. It is a healthy and comforting soup. So, sharing the recipe and hope you try it out and share the feedback with me.
