Tomato Soup (Homemade)

Wanna make tomato soup as in restaurants....Here you go..:)

You Need: (Serves - 2)

Tomatoes - 3 nos

Onion - 1 no

Garlic - 6 nos

Pepper powder - As per required spice level

Cream - 1 tbsp (Optional)

Tomato sauce/ketchup - 4 tsp

Corn flour - 2 tsp

Oil - 2 tsp

Water - 3 cups

Cut the onions and tomatoes into small pieces. Remove the skin from garlic and keep aside. Mix corn flour in sufficient amount of water and keep aside.

Take a non stick pan, heat oil and fry the garlic till slightly roasted.
Then add onions and fry till cooked. Then add tomatoes and little salt for the tomatoes to cook fast.

Once the tomatoes are cooked / mashed well and raw smell is gone, add three cups of water. Let it boil for 15 min in medium low flame. Then add the corn flour mixture, tomato sauce, cream and pepper powder. Stir well and let the soup thicken. Check the salt and spice level.

Tips: Top it with little cream for garnishing. Add deep fried bread pieces/croutons if required for enriched taste.

Serve these restaurant kinda "Tomato Soup"....Nothing says comfort like a bowl of tomato soup during monsoon season.
