Fresh tomato soup recipe with photos. Did you know tomato is the only fruit that releases it’s antioxidant (Lycopene) upon heating. So cook your tomato soup for 1-2 hours or more on slow heat. Making a good tomato soup was a struggle for me. I tried making soup with only tomato, then tomato and onions, tomato and noodles, but 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.
For 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 huge impact on the taste and texture.
Do adjust the salt, pepper, lemon and thickness of soup to your taste. So are you ready to enjoy soothing warm goodness to make yourself cozy this winter?

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.
