369 ml tomato paste
3 tablespoons olive oil
71 gram Knorr cream mushroom soup packet
One onion
Two carrots
Two celery
Fistful of cut up mushrooms
Three garlic cloves minced
One halapenio (optional)
Half litre chicken broth

In a 5 quart saucepan add oil, onion, garlic, mushrooms and saute mushrooms.
Add your diced carrots and celery.
Add your chicken stock, soup mix and two litres of water.
Last add your tomato paste and perhaps that one pepper diced.

If you find there's a strong tendency to burn just turn down the heat somewhat.

Great recipe but I would do it in an Instant Pot (pressure cooker).

Thx. I understand this is quite popular in India, most likely with a currie ingredient. A North American twist is the one diced chili pepper. And have it with fresh bun, preferably Italian Ciabatta.

I have two friends from Mumbia. They recognize sort of this recipe, except they refer a currie spice versus my chili pepper. Also they have had it prepared in a saucepan slow boil as well as in a pressure cooker.
They told me it tasted better in the saucepan and boiled as they thought the flavors blended better with time.

They know this pressure cooked version is more popular in the south of India and Sri Lanka.
