Easy Tomato Soup Recipe

Few weeks back we went to our favourite veg restaurant, usually i dont order soup there. But this time i thought of trying their tomato soup..I ordered and enjoyed it..This made me realize that i haven’t posted tomato soup recipe in my blog. 

Similar Recipes,
Chicken Clear Soup
Manchow Soup
Veg Milk Soup
Cream of Mushroom Soup
Spinach Soup
Drumstick Leaves Soup
Chicken Meatball Soup
Country Chicken Soup

So the next day itself, i made my soup, clicked it and enjoyed it to the core. Some people add cream in their tomato soup. But i dont usually add. Soups are meant to be healthy, so i dont want to make it unhealthy with the addition of cream. But i like to add a touch of butter in my soup. Because it gives nice flavour to the soup.

Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turned out for you..

Preparation Time : 5 mins
Cooking Time : 15 to 20 mins
Serves : 4


Ingredients:

Butter – 1 tsp
Bay Leaf – 1
Garlic – 4 cloves
Onion – 1 medium size chopped
Tomatoes – 4 medium size chopped
Beetroot – 1/4 of a medium one, peeled and cubed
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Sugar – 1 tsp or to taste
Cornflour / Cornstarch – 1 tsp
Milk – 1/4 cup
Tomato Ketchup – 2 tsp (Optional)
Water – 3 to 4 cups

Bread Slices – 2
Oil – 1 tblspn


Method:

Heat butter in a cooker, add in bay leaf and garlic, saute for a min.

Add in onions and saute for another min.

Add in beetroot and tomatoes. Saute for 2 mins.

Add in salt, sugar and mix well. Add in water. Cover and pressure cook for 2 whistle. Simmer the cooker for 5 mins. Turn off the heat and let the steam escape all by itself.

Now open the cooker, remove the bay leaf. 

Use a handblender to puree the soup. If you dont have hand blender, cool the mix then puree the soup in a blender.

Pour the pureed soup through a sieve and sieve well. 

Mix cornflour with milk and set aside.

Now pour the soup in a sauce pan, add pepper, tomato ketchup and cornflour milk. Boil once.

Remove and serve hot with some croutons.

For Croutons.

Cut bread slices into small squares.

Heat oil in a tawa and place the cut bread slices in oil and fry till golden on both sides. Remove to a plate and set aside

but cool the soup lightly before blending

I kept on pushing till the last bit of the soup is extracted

This is the silky smooth soup

    A 40+ pictorial for a simple non sinfull tomato soup. I get tired before I reach the stowe!
    I will lend you my recipe for a truly sinful one:

    2 stalks of celery
    1 bell pepper preferable yellow
    1-2 chili peppers or 1 tsp dried ditto – to your taste
    2 yellow onieon
    3 – 4 garlic cloves
    1/2 dl dry white wine
    2 cans of Mutti crushed tomatoes
    1 large Lovagestalk, finely chopped
    Oregano
    Basil
    Salt and pepper

    Vegestable broth (preferable Herbamare)
    Oil, butter, salr

    Chop all the vegestables.
    Roast the peppers and chilies hard, and, lower the temperature then. add garlic, cellery and onions.
    Simmer for 10 min. Then add white wine and tomatoes.
    After 5 min add the herbs and let simmer for another 20 min.

    And now the sinfull part:
    200 g of philadelphia cream cheese,
    3 garlic cloves, crushed
    A pinch of salt
    Basil

    Serve in bowls with a LARGE spoonful of creamcheese.
    And enjoy
