This is the most basic and simplest of soups. Its made in a jiffy and relished by just about everyone. It works wonders if you are not well as it is light and nourishing. If you can make this soup at home why would you have a packaged soup? Its always better to put in a little effort and have home made. At least you know what is going into it and there is the added pleasure of knowing you have made it yourself.
Ingredients
3 tomatoes
1/2 carrot
salt to taste
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp sugar
1tbsp cornflour
2-3 tbsp milk
3 cups water
Method: Chop the tomatoes. Grate and chop the carrot. Add the water and put to boil till soft. Blend in the mixer when sufficiently cool and strain. Now place on heat again and allow to boil. Mix the cornflour in cold milk and add to the soup. Stir till soup thickens. Add the salt, sugar and pepper. Check for taste and then serve hot. The quality and sourness of tomatoes differs from season to season so make sure to add less salt at first and adjust accordingly.
This soup is often served with a dash of cream on top and fried bread squares but its just as tasty without the accompaniments.
The carrot I have added is optional. Go ahead and make it without it if you dont have carrots at home. I just feel the carrot adds to the texture and nutrition value.
