CREAMY PALAK SOUP

Soups are my favourites. Before I used to make soups with readymade Knor packets mix. But its always good to have fresh homemade soup right? This recipe "Palak soup", I started preparing after my daughter born. As palak is very good source of iron rich and healthy, I started giving her right from her 7 th month . ButI was giving her under simple process of just grinding boiled palak with salt and then strained. Later as Smera grown up I started making slight variation that increase its taste and here it goes my Microwavable recipe which can be prepared quicky-
