South Indian Mutton Soup

By now you all must be knowing that I am a sucker when it comes to soups, I hardly have soups and if there is one soup that I never mind having it would be Amma's mutton soup. Its a more South Indian spicy kind of soup that has mutton broth and spices blended together to give an awesome concoction that will clear our your throat, nose and even fever in one serving. The recipe that I will sharing today is a cheats version of Amma's soup ;-) or you can call it Mutton soup for dummies :P either way they will fit perfect for this easy peesy recipe.
