tomato soup recipe | cream of tomato soup | tomatoe soup recipe with step by step photo and video recipe. soup recipes are always a popular choice of appetizer or starter recipe, especially during the outdoor meals. it can range from a vegetable-based soup to the myriad offering from the 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 many ways and variation 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 the restaurants. the recipe’s key ingredient is ripe tomatoes which i have sautéed with onions and carrots which is later ground to fine and smooth paste. the reason i have added carrot in this recipe is for the creamy texture, bright colour it brings and also for the sweet taste. typically in the 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 more creamy and silky texture. in addition if the tomatoes are sour in taste, 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 to use 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 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 in the final presentation. but as an variation tomatoe soup tastes great when served with butter toasted bread.

finally, i would like to emphasize on 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. in addition do check my other related recipes collection like,
