1. Cool down the tomatoes completely. Reserve the water. Remove the skin from cooked tomatoes.

11. Serve hot. Add some fresh cream on the top.
12. Serve with bread croutons.

NOTES :

• You can saute the tomatoes in the pan itself instead of cooking in pressure cooker. But I feel blanching it separately gives a good flavour to the soup.
• You can add some basil or oregano if you like.
• Also you can add a bay leaf while adding garlic. Remove the bay leaf while grinding.
• You can add some fresh cream while heat is on. Cook for few min over low heat.
