Cream of Tomato Soup » Dassana's Veg Recipes

Winters is the season of Soups. So sharing this very easy and delicious recipe of homemade cream of tomato soup. The soup has a creamy, smooth consistency with a light tanginess from the tomatoes. The creaminess in the soup comes from cashews which also balances the tang of the tomatoes with their inherent sweetness. I have used cashews as a substitute for fresh cream. Also there is no sugar added in the recipe. Instead of cashews, you can also use peeled almonds. Making cream of tomato soup is ridiculously easy and does not take much time. So, perfect for all those days when you just don’t have the energy to cook something really elaborate. I have used fresh tomatoes to make the soup. When making this soup use ripe, red tomatoes which are not too sour or too tangy. The soup is minimally flavored with crushed black pepper, garlic, olive oil and fresh basil leaves. So a slight pungency and peppery taste is there along with the fresh flavor of basil. Instead of basil you can add your favorite herbs. • ▢ 2 tablespoons olive oil • ▢ 1 medium sized tej patta (indian bay leaf) • ▢ 4 medium sized garlic • ▢ 1 medium sized onion or 45 grams onions or ⅓ cup chopped onions • ▢ 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour or all purpose flour • ▢ 5 medium sized tomatoes or 500 to 520 grams tomatoes or 4 cups chopped tomatoes • ▢ 2 cups water or vegetable stock • ▢ 10 large cashews • ▢ ½ teaspoon crushed black pepper or add as required • ▢ salt as required • ▢ 2 to 3 basil leaves (chiffonade or ch...
