I love soups in winter and keep experiment with different soups. I love my soups to be pureed and very smooth while my hubby loves then with the vegetables still floating, OK that's how I call it the floating objects soup. So sometimes I leave half of it for him and puree the rest for myself, that way we both are happy. But this soup had to be pureed. I love this soup, it is a heavy soup and we could not have much, half a bowl compared to the other soups will be ok. We had it with some macaroni salad for dinner.

2 cups vegetable stock or water. (you can use veg bouillons if you like)
1/2 cup peas, frozen or fresh
1/2 onion, chopped,
1/2 inch ginger grated
1/4 tsp cardamom powder
1 tsp kasturi methi
red chili flakes to taste
salt to taste.
Method
- Heat 1 tsp oil in a pan and add the onions. Cook till translucent.
- Add the ginger and water and bring to a boil.

Cloves are know for its Medicinal Purposes but if had in large amounts it could be Toxic too.
Toxicity - Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clove
Large amounts should be avoided in pregnancy. Cloves can be irritating to the gastrointestinal tract, and should be avoided by people with gastric ulcers, colitis, or irritable bowel syndrome. In overdoses, cloves can cause vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, and upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Severe cases can lead to changes in liver function, dyspnea, loss of consciousness, hallucination, and even death. The internal use of the essential oil should be restricted to 3 drops per day for an adult as excessive use can cause severe kidney damage.
