The carrot and bottle gourd soup with rice and cheese balls is as exotic as a soup can be! this wholesome soup of carrot, bottle gourd and potatoes is quite sumptuous and can served as an appetiser or in a larger bowl as a snack in its own right. That said, the innovative twist to this soup lies in the crunchy-munchy garnish of rice and cheese balls. Make sure you drop the balls on the soup just before serving to retain the crispness.

A good way to use the strained water is to make sambar with it as it has the same ingredients.

Excellent. Double the quantity of rice and cheese balls as kids will love them. After the cooked puree is strained, I added some milk and butter and whipped cream, salt pepper and made it like a hot milk soup , did''nt feel like throwing it out. Also, this strained water can be used as white stock for celery soup or other soups.
