SERVING SUGGESTION :
- Serve as appetizer for Lunch/Dinner.
AUTHOR : Dimple CUISINE : World
COURSE : Soup YIELD : 1 or 2 Servings
INGREDIENTS :
- Tomato – 2 or 3 Large
- Water – as needed
- Butter – 2 Tbsp
- Cumin seeds(opt) – 1/2 Tsp
- Garlic cloves – 2 or 3
- Onion(medium) – 1/2
- All purpose flour / maida – 1 Tbsp

PREPARATION :
- Slit the tomatoes and pressure cook it for 1 whistle with enough water. You can also cook in open pan until completely cooked.
- Roughly chop onion and garlic.
PROCEDURE :
- Cool down the tomatoes completely. Reserve the water. Remove the skin from cooked tomatoes.
- Melt 1 Tbsp butter in a pan. Add cumin seeds and saute for few seconds.
- Add garlic and onions one after the other and saute until onions are cooked well but not caramelised (golden brown).
- Turn off the heat. Let it cool down.
- Add these sauteed onions and cooked tomatoes in a blender / Mixie and blend it smooth. Add water if needed. (Use reserved water)
- In the same pan melt another Tbsp butter and add flour.
- Saute it well for few minutes until it becomes golden brown in colour.
- Filter the tomato blend and add it to the pan.
- Let it cook for 3-4 min over low heat.
- Add some salt and pepper. Combine well and turn off the heat.
- Serve hot. Add some fresh cream on the top.
- 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.
