The healthy Indian tomato soup is a perfect low-cal option for those who love a wholesome bowl of soup for meal.

To make healthy Indian tomato soup, combine 4 cups of water along with tomatoes and moong dal in a deep non-stick kadhai and cook on a medium flame for 8 to 10 minutes. Cool and blend. Heat the olive oil in a deep non-stick kadhai and add the tomato soup mixture, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Your veg tomato soup without maida is ready.

Tomatoes are rich in folic acid, vitamin C and moong dal provides protein. Moong dal also cuts down the sharpness of tomatoes and gives this Indian tomato soup a velvety texture.

With just 1 tsp of olive oil for six servings, this veg tomato soup without maida is perfect for weight-watchers. Despite being ‘slim’, it is loaded with nutrients, especially vitamin A from the tomatoes and protein from the dal.

I would like to share with you some tips to make the perfect Indian tomato soup. 1. Always use fresh red tomatoes that will help to make a nice tomato soup which is not only good in colour but amazing in taste as well without adding any readymade tomato puree or paste. 2. In a deep non-stick pan, heat the olive oil. Add the onions. This is added to add crunch if you do not wish to add you can always omit it.

This one is really great. I just tried it, but insted of boiling the chopped tomatoes, firstly I crushed them in mixture and then boiled it by adding two cup of water. This will reduce the cooking time. I added mint and basil both. :) :D
