TOMATO - CARROT SOUP

Tomato -- 5-6 large
Carrot -- 1 (optional)
Onion -- 1 large
Garlic -- 3-4 cloves
Ginger -- 1/2 c m piece
Pepper powder -- 1/4 teaspoon
Sugar -- 2 tablespoons
Salt to taste
Fresh cream -- 2 tablespoon (optional)


Roughly chop tomatoes,carrot and onion. Cook it with little water. Use minimum amount of water to get a thick soup.

I use the carrot to increase the thickness. It gives a nice texture to the soup.

Add chopped garlic and ginger in the end and cook for 5-10 minutes.

Once done cool the cooked tomatoes and run it in the processor to get a smooth paste. Strain it through a strainer.

Transfer the strained soup to a pan. Add salt, sugar and pepper powder. Adjust the thickness of the soup by adding a little water.

Bring to boil. Serve hot topped with fresh cream..
