This is a restaurant-style cream od tomato soup.

Did you know a tomato is the only fruit that releases its antioxidant (Lycopene) upon heating? So cook your tomato soup for 1-2 hours or more on slow heat.

Making good tomato soup was a struggle for me. I tried making soup with only tomato, then tomato and onions, and tomato and noodles, but the result was never a deep tomatoey soup.

Only now I'm satisfied with the recipe. I know, the recipe is simple, and I came across this recipe many times but I was always averted to add carrots. Finally, I did.

Why does this recipe work?

For the best restaurant-style thick tomato soup, you need fully ripened red tomatoes. Choose the tomato variety that is your personal favorite.

1-2 carrots are the secret ingredient that adds both thickness and color to the soup. Another important ingredient is freshly grounded black pepper. And you'll see a little change can make a huge impact on the taste and texture.

Do adjust the salt, pepper, lemon, and thickness of the soup to your taste. So are you ready to enjoy soothing warm goodness to make yourself cozy this winter?

How to make it?

In your soup pot take carrots, onion, garlic, and oil.

Saute for 3-4 minutes or until onions are transparent.

adding herbs in tomato soup


Add tomatoes,( choose ripe red tomatoes) chicken stock, basil, and salt. Cook for 1 hour at least on medium-low heat. Cover the pot.

Boil tomatoes.


After 1 hour soup is ready.

blending tomato soup


Blend the soup. (I used an immersion blender)

straining

Sieve the soup through a coarse strainer.

adding salt


Add butter, corn, sugar, pepper, soy sauce, and salt. Then add water as much as required to adjust the consistency of the soup. Cook for 10 minutes. Finally, add lemon juice to your taste. If the tomatoes are tangy then less lemon juice will be required.

Add fresh cream before serving. Serve with fresh tomato soup with croutons.

    Hi Mariam.
    I love your recipes and have tried many of them.

    I am planning on making Singaporean Rice and wanted to know if this soup recipe would complement it? Thanks for all your hard work.

      Hi Umme Hani, thanks a lot for your kinds words and lovely feedback. This tomato soup has rich taste and turn out thick in texture. I find this soup more opt for winters. You can try this or my other Indian Tomato soup.

      I feel almond soup is also a good match Singaporean rice.

    Soups seems to be yummy. Well presented easier to prepare for any beginner. I hope avoiding butter and fresh cream would not alter the taste much - as am health conscious, i always seeks an healthier option.

      Try adding some warm milk instead of cream, but on individual servings, if you like.
      You can skip butter.
