Steps In Making
Tomato Soup
- In a pan add oil and once it turns hot add the bay leaf, black pepper corns, chopped garlic and ginger. Now sauté for a minute.
- Further add the sliced onions and cook them on medium flame for 2-3 minutes till they turn translucent.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, coriander and mix well.
- Now add salt, Kashmiri red chilli powder, sugar and mix. Cover it with a lid and cook for 8-10 minutes or until the tomatoes turns soft. Check them in between occasionally.
- Further add 3 cups water and give it a good mix.
- Now let the soup simmer on medium flame for 10-12 minutes till the tomatoes are perfectly cooked.
- Once done, remove the bay leaf and let them cool down to room temperature.
- Grind them in a mixer grinder till smooth or use a hand blender.
- Now sieve the tomato soup to remove any unwanted fiber. (optional)
- In a pan pour the soup, add tomato ketchup, black pepper powder and let it simmer on medium flame for 3-4 of minutes or until it gets few boils.
- Thick and creamy tomato soup is ready.
Bread Croutons
- In a pan add oil and butter. Once it turns hot add the bread and toss on each side till it turns crispy and gets a nice golden colour.
- Sprinkle some black pepper powder and salt on top once done.
Serve Tomato Soup
- In a bowl add the hot tomato soup and top it with some bread croutons and fresh cream . Serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
- You can add carrots and beetroot too.
- I do not prefer adding the corn flour slurry but if you want then add just before the soup is done and cook for a minute or two. Do not over cook after that.
- While making the bread croutons add the butter for better crispy texture, else they will remain soft.
