2 teaspoons Parmesan cheese powder
water as required
4 chopped green beans
1 cup boiled peas
5 teaspoon coriander leaves
1 cup boiled red kidney beans

To make this soup, put green moong dal in a small bowl and wash it under running water. Place the pressure cooker on medium flame and add washed moong dal, 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes and some water. Cook this tomato and dal for about one whistle and turn off the burner.
Let the steam escape on its own and when cooked, open the lid and transfer the cooked tomatoes and dal to a bowl and allow to cool at room temperature. When the tomatoes and lentils cool down enough, put it in a mixer jar and grind it well to make a smooth puree. Strain the puree in a bowl.
Next, place a large pan on medium flame and heat oil in it. When the oil is hot enough, add chopped cabbage and chopped coriander. Stir and fry for a few minutes until the cabbage becomes light in colour. Then, add boiled green peas, green beans (cut into long pieces) and remaining chopped tomatoes and tomato-dal puree.
Stir the contents of the pan and sprinkle some salt and pepper into the pan as per your taste. Mix well and bring the mixture to a boil. Now, add cooked macaroni and mix once again. Add boiled kidney beans or kidney beans to the pan and mix well. Cover the pan with a lid and let the mixture cook on low flame.
After about 10 minutes, open the lid of the pan and mix once again. Turn off the burner and pour the soup into a bowl and garnish with Parmesan cheese powder. Mix well and serve hot!
