TOMATO SOUP

Ingredients for Tomato Soup:

·         Tomatoes (medium sized) – 6

·         Potato (medium sized) – 1

·         Onion (big sized) – 1

·         Ginger – 1/2 inch

·         Garlic – 1-2 cloves

·         Salt

·         Sugar – 1 tsp

·         Pepper Powder – 1/4 to 1/2 tsp (depending on your taste preferences)

How to Make Tomato Soup :

1. Wash and cut the Tomatoes. Peel the outer covering of Potato and Onions. Cut all of these vegetables into medium sized pieces. Clean the Ginger and Garlic with water, peel the outer covering and cut them into pieces. Keep aside.
2. Transfer all the above cut ingredients to a cooker vessel or directly to the cooker container and add enough water or until all the cut vegetables immerse fully in water.
3. Cook these ingredients in a pressure cooker until you hear 4-5 whistles. Ensure that Potatoes are cooked well. Once the pressure eases, remove the cooked vegetables from the pressure cooker and keep them aside to cool or until they reach normal room temperature. Preserve the water used for cooking in the cooker vessel for further use in the next two steps.
4. Transfer the cooked vegetables to the mixer jar and add enough water (used for cooking – from Step 3 above) from the cooker vessel. Grind them to a smooth paste. Filter the paste using a strainer to remove the outer covering of the Tomato, Ginger and Garlic.
5. Pour the paste and remaining water from cooker to a vessel and add Sugar, Salt and Pepper and cook it on stove top for 8-10 minutes. Adjust the Salt, Pepper and sweetness of the Tomato Soup if required after you switch off the flame.
