#Slurp #WinterChallenge #cookpadindia #tomatosoup

Ingredient

Food ration :

3 servings

Cooking time :

20 minutes

2 tablespoons

bay leaf or tej patta (small to medium-sized) – fresh or dried

1/3 cup

finely chopped onions or 1 medium onion

1/2 teaspoon

tomatoes or 6 to 7 medium to large tomatoes

1 cup

water or low sodium vegetable broth

1/2 cup

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Cooking Tomatoes Heat butter until it melts in a saucepan or a pot. Keep the heat to low or medium-low. Add bay leaves and sauté for a few seconds. Add chopped onions and garlic. Stir and sauté until onions soften for about 3 to 4 minutes. Add chopped tomatoes and salt. Mix well.

* Step 2

Cover pan and simmer on a low to medium-low heat until tomatoes soften or for about 8 to 10 minutes. There is no need to add water. But do keep an eye when the tomatoes are simmering. If the liquids dry up then add a splash of water and continue cooking. After the tomatoes have softened, remove from the heat and cool. Take out the bay leaves and discard.

* Step 3

Blending And Straining Once the tomato mixture has cooled to a point that’s safe to work with, add it to a blender jar. You can also use an immersion blender.

* Step 4

Blend to a smooth consistency. You have the option of straining the puree through a strainer for an even smoother soup, but this step isn’t necessary. If you do choose to strain the puree, move a spoon through it so that everything is strained except the seeds.

* Step 5

Simmering Further Pour the tomato puree back into the pot, and add water and sugar. Mix and stir well. Simmer on a low heat until the soup becomes hot but not boiling.

* Step 6

Season with freshly crushed black pepper and stir. Turn off the heat and stir in, 1 to 2 tablespoon of heavy cream, depending on desired richness. Mix well, taste, and add more salt and pepper if needed.

* Step 7

Toasting Bread When the tomato mixture is cooling, you can make the bread croutons. Mix together the bread cubes, olive oil, salt and freshly crushed black pepper in a baking tray. Toss to coat. Bake in a preheated oven for about 3 to 5 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit) until bread cubes are golden and crisp. Or, you can toast the bread cubes in a skillet until golden brown on all sides.

* Step 8

Pour the hot tomato soup into bowls. Add the croutons directly on top of the soup, or serve on the side. You can also garnish the tomato soup with a bit of freshly chopped parsley or coriander leaves (cilantro) or basil sprigs or mint leaves. This soup is great served fresh, but also keeps well in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
