Winter Soup

It's winter and cold outside. I have made this delicious and tummy comforting soup. Why not treat yourself to something warm and spicy? This Winter Soup is good for a dinner. Nothing else, add just some French Bread. It is a filling soup. With lots of vegetables.

This soup is a little bit spicy, for children probably too much. So if you are making this soup for children then it is best to leave the Sriracha and Lime spice out.

History of Sriracha:

Sriracha is originally from Thailand.

More spices are used in hot climate countries because these spices have antibacterial properties that rid foods of pathogens, to protect people's health.

Sriracha is being used by different brands for making hot sauces.

Are you not curious to see what spices are in Sriracha?

It has a lot of spices in it, like garlic and onion, lime extractives, cayenne red pepper, vinegar, sunflower oil.

I will address the cayenne pepper health benefits here, since it gives this spice mix its spiciness.
