ReplyDelete@ shiva you can replace white pepper with black pepper or no pepper at all .The tabasco is a type of chilli sauce you can omit it altogether and add 1 green chilli for the heat or add 1/2 teaspoon of any chilli sauce you can lay your hands on.
ReplyDeleteLovely - I followed this recipe and the soup was devoured in one meal by all the family, along with some home made rolls!
