Tomato Soup
Tamil is having a cold. It just occured to me why not try some soup Today henceforth. Voila..I tried this following a recipe I noted down sometime back from a cooking show. Tamil says, “It tastes just like in the restaurants”. I am very happy to present the delicious Tomato Soup recipe here..
RECIPE:
- Pour 1sp oil /butter in a hot pan
- Add 1 2p jeera (cumin seeds) and let it splutter
- Add 3 garlic pods, 1/4 medium sized onion (chopped) and saute until brown
- optional: Saute any vegetable like peas, carrot, bell pepper, celery etc (I didnt add any this time though)
- Add 1 Tomato chopped and saute until oil oozes out
- Add salt, pepper powder to taste
- Transfer to a blender and blend smoothly
- Drain in a strainer and add 1/2 cup water
- Adjust salt & pepper
- In a hot pan, add butter/oil and add 1/2sp All purpose flour (maida) and stir with no lumps
- Stir until the flour turns brown and add the soup mix little by little carefully to avoid any further lumps
- Let it come to a boil. U can add water to ur desired consistency at this stage.
- Optionally you can add food color or Kesari powder ( I didnt)
- When it is almost done, optionally add cream (I didnt )

- Serve hot with soup crackers
