Notes

  • Using fresh tomatoes gives the best taste and flavor.However you can use canned tomatoes too for ease and convenience.
  • Instead of water you can add 2 cups vegetable broth.
  • In addition you can can 1/4 cup milk. You can even replace fresh cream and add 1/2 cup milk.
  • Use freshly ground pepper powder at the final stage to give a nice taste.
  • Adding little sugar balances the taste.
  • I used regular tomatoes, you can even use country tomatoes but gives a tangy taste so adjust the other ingredients accordingly.
  • You can even use 1 tablespoon butter along with 1 tablespoon olive while sauteing onion, tomatoes.
  • You can even add few fresh basil leaves for a basil tomato soup.
  • You can even add 1 small piece cinnamon, cloves along with bay leaf for a more strong flavor of whole spices.
