cream of tomato soup recipe | Indian style cream of tomato soup | creamy tomato soup | with 20 amazing images.
Cream of tomato soup is a tomato based thick soup which is probably the first choice as an appetizer to be had before the meal, when we go outdoors. This is a popular winter recipe in India. I love having cream of tomato soup on rainy days and it is my comfort food in soups.
There are many variations to the cream of tomato soup and this is our Indian style cream of tomato soup version of it. The recipe is easy to cook, even a beginner can nail this recipe. We have made it using minimum of ingredients. To make creamy tomato soup, you need to cook tomatoes with half cup of water and whole spices like bay leaf and pepper corn, all the ingredients are cooked together and once cooked bay leaf is discarded. It is all cooled and blended in a mixer. Then we have added butter in a deep non-stick pan, add the plain flour and sauté. Add the prepared tomato mixture, 1 cup of water, tomato purée, mix well and cook. Also, add the sugar, salt, pepper and fresh cream, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 2 minutes and turn off the flame. Our cream of tomato soup is ready to be served!
Everyone in my family loves tomato soup and we also make it when we wish having something very light for dinner! Cream of Tomato Soup is a choice that perfectly pleases the Indian palate. A combination of tomato puree and freshly cooked tomatoes are combined with spices and blended into a rich soup, which is made all the more luxuriant by the addition of fresh cream.
In addition, some easy tips and recommendations while preparing the cream of tomato soup recipe. I would emphasise to use ripe and juicy tomatoes and avoid raw or hard tomatoes. Ripe tomatoes would yield more creamy and coloured soup and with raw you may end up with bitter taste.
Garnish tomato soup with fresh cream and serve hot with fried croutons.
