Tomato Soup Recipe is one of the simplest, tastiest soup with the easily available ingredients in our kitchen pantry. The climate here in Bangalore demands a warm, soul-soothing soup. The recipe I have shared here is a one which is prepared in restaurants, but you can prepare it without the addition of fresh cream too. If preferred, you can make it with small tomato chunks, but I have filtered it to get a smooth, creamy texture. Also, I have shared this Cream Of Tomato Soup with step by step pics, a short youtube video and if you like it, don’t forget to subscribe to my channel.

Tips for Cream of Tomato Soup Recipe
- Use deep red colour, ripe tomatoes only, to get a good colour and tasty tomato soup recipe.
- Don't use tomatoes which are unripe, sour or with shrunken skins.
- I suggest using carrots, which gives a creamy texture, vibrant colour and balance the sourness of the tomatoes.
- Instead of sauteeing in butter, you can use olive oil too, which lends a nice taste.
- You can skip the onion, but never skip garlic which adds a nice aroma.
- Addition of sugar is a must, which helps to balance the sourness in the tomatoes. But don't add more than mentioned which changes the taste completely.
- Always switch off the flame and then add fresh cream, else there is a chance of curdling.
- Adjust pepper powder as per spice level required for this cream of tomato soup.
