Simple Snake Gourd Soup with Celery

With apologies to Sharan, I cannot read a recipe and not mess with it. In this case, it was a bit embarrassing, for it spoils the simplicity of the recipe, but so be it. You have a choice as to how you make it.

So here goes my version:

1. lightly roast a tablespoon of Panchpuran in a stainless steel or titanium saucepan, or a wok.
2. Add a chopped onion, and 2-3 garlic cloves, and  pinch (1 tsp) of Tianjin vegetables.
3. Sautée with either a cup of veggie stock or water with one tsp Yondu, or Braggs Liquid Aminos
4. add in the diced snake gourd and thinly sliced celery.
5. Let it cook for a while, and then blend it with a stick blender, or use a food processor.
6. top it off with some pepper and maybe some parsley. 
7. Enjoy.

I still think my version does not really increase the time involved, You can have a delicious soup in 20-30 minutes counting everything from prep through serving.
