Chia Seeds Vegan Power Soup

Though I have some knowledge about one of the most powerful nutritious ingredient Chia seeds,  I did not get the opportunity to use it since it is not available in my city which is in the down south of the country. When I was asked to submit 30 iron rich recipes for a famous monthly magazine, I was asked by those people to make a recipe of Chia Seeds, but unfortunately I could not get it. Immediately after few days surprisingly I got a courier with a pack of Organic Chia Seeds form the Belly Nirvana who are under the mission of Go Organic India with the support of Plattershare. Here I should say about Plattershare..

Plattershare right from the beginning of my journey as a food blogger consistently support, encourage and showcase my culinary skills. I could never forget the article they published about my cookery show in Sun T.V.  When I received the Chiaseeds via Plattershare for their associate program Go Organic India  with Belly Nirvana I was overwhelmed with joy.

Then my Exploration and research about Chia Seeds started in depth. I was amazed to know about the health benefits of Chia seeds and its origin and history through Google. As we always start the  course of food with an appetizer, I started my first experiment with Chia seed with a soup and It was just mind blowing. My family members just loved to enjoy it. I added every ingredient for the soup with a perfect choice that gives the energy needed for the whole day.
