Soup recipes are always a popular choice of appetizer or starter recipe, especially during outdoor meals. It can range from a vegetable-based soup to the myriad offerings from Indo-Chinese cuisine recipes. But this recipe post deals with simple and creamy tomato soup which can be easily prepared at home.

As I mentioned previously, there are many ways and variations to this simple tomato soup recipe. But in this recipe, I have basically adopted the indian version or perhaps the version you usually order in restaurants. The recipe’s key ingredient is ripe tomatoes which I have sautéed with onions and carrots which are later ground to a fine and smooth paste. The reason I have added carrot to this recipe is for the creamy texture, and bright color it brings, and also for the sweet taste. Typically in restaurants, you may find it dark red color perhaps due to the addition of red food color. Also as the final step, I have added fresh and thick cream to make it a more creamy and silky texture. In addition, if the tomatoes are sour in taste, the addition of cream and carrots helps to balance the taste.

In addition, some easy tips and recommendations while preparing the cream of tomato soup recipe. Firstly, I would strongly emphasize using ripe and juicy tomatoes and avoid raw or hard tomatoes. Ripe tomatoes would yield more creamy and colored soup and with raw you may end up with a bitter taste. Secondly, you can also add corn starch in the place of carrot to attain the same consistency and texture. I personally like this to keep more natural with carrots rather than corn starch. Lastly, I was running out of toasted bread or rusk and hence I have not included it in the final presentation. But as a variation tomato soup tastes great when served with butter-toasted bread.

Finally, I would like to emphasize my other Soup Recipes Collection with this post of tomato soup recipe. It includes recipes like noodles soup, clear soup, hot and sour soup, carrot soup, pumpkin soup, momos soup, mushroom soup, sweet corn soup, and veg manchow soup recipe.

Chef Tips for Tomato Soup

The recipe is very simple and easy to make in minutes. Moreover, it takes a few minimal ingredients to prepare it. Yet some important and critical tips –

1. Tomatoes Selection – The critical ingredient for this recipe is the selection of the right tomatoes for the soup. It has to be juicy, ripe, and less sour in taste. At the same time, it should not be over-ripe, as it may spoil the taste of the soup.
2. Other Vegetables – Typically, the soup is made with just tomatoes and maybe ginger, garlic, and onions. However, adding other veggies with tomatoes like carrots, beetroot, and beans, helps to get the texture, taste, and flavor to the soup.
3. Texture – The soup texture should be silky smooth with medium consistency. This is achieved by cooking all the vegetables fully and then grinding them to a smooth paste. Once ground, it has to be sieved to remove all fibers and unwanted toppings.
4. Toppings – Once the soup is prepared, it is best served with toppings like butter, pepper, and even mint leaves. Additionally, you may add yogurt or cooking cream to help the taste and texture.
5. Accompaniments – The soup is a complete meal and can be served as a light dinner or lunch meal. Yet to make it more interesting, you can serve bread toast, garlic bread, or even fried bread cubes.
