Today we'll tomato soup
in a way that it will be made quickly.
You will love the taste,
better than any soup on the market.
Namaste,
welcome NishaMadhulika.com
Let's start!
4 tomatoes,
400 grams in weight.
Remove the upper part of the tomato
and chop the rest like this.
No need to make the pieces too fine.
To make the soup
you can either take hybrid tomatoes or desi tomatoes.
But they should be a little firm.
Take 1/2 inch of ginger,
it is a very small piece,
chop this as well.
We'll boil them in the cooker,
so it boils quickly.
1/2 cup of water
and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
1/4 teaspoon of crushed black pepper,
can take powder
or take 6-7 black peppers.
This is a small sized beetroot,
peel and chop it finely.
Put it in,
it will bring colour to the soup
and taste as well.
Close the cooker,
turn on the flame
and cook them till one whistle.
After it whistles, reduce the flame to low
and cook it at low flame for 2 minutes.
After that, turn off the flame
and let the cooker cool down.
Many of you commented
that your soup is not cooked well.
The reason is,
the vessel in which you are cooking the soup.
Do not cook it in an aluminium vessel.
Cook it in a cooker
or in any normal vessel.
But it should be of steel
or hard anodized.
If you are cooking it in a cooker,
so after it whistles, cook it at low flame for 2 minutes.
And if cooking it in a normal vessel,
after it boils
cook it for 10-12 minutes
till tomatoes soften.
So take any vessel
but not of aluminium.
The cooker has whistled,
reduce the flame to low
and cook it at low flame for 2 minutes.
After 2 minutes
turn off the flame
and let the cooker cool down.
The cooker has cooled down, open it
and see everything has perfectly boiled.
Filter the tomatoes in a sieve,
so their juice will strain out in the vessel.
These tomatoes will also cool down quickly.
Now put the tomatoes in a plate
and
open them a little so they cool down.
Do not grind hot tomatoes,
otherwise steam will form and the lid will open
and all the tomatoes will spread.
It has cooled down,
put it in the jar.
Put 1/4 cup of water
it will cool down more.
1/2 teaspoon of
roasted cumin powder,
grind it with the tomatoes.
And look,
the fine paste is ready.
The juice that we strained out,
add this juice to the paste it will strain nicely.
Now strain it.
And look,
not much is left in the sieve.
Very few fibres are left,
remove them.
Do not press it much,
the pulp that came under it, remove that as well.
Now to cook it,
turn on the flame.
See the consistency,
looks very thick,
see it is only tomatoes right now.
We haven't put anything in it yet,
add the remaining water to it.
Till now we have added 1.5 cups of water.
It is a 250 ml cup
and I have added 1.5 cups of water.
1/2 cup of water while boiling the tomatoes
and 1 cup of water while grinding it.
1/2 cup of water more.
Which means we used 2 cups of water.
See the consistency,
if you want to drink this thin soup
then there is no need to add anything to it.
Now boil it.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of black salt.
At first we added plain salt.
You can add plain salt instead,
if you don't like black salt.
But black salt enhances the taste.
To make it thick add 1 teaspoon of corn flour.
Pour some water in it
and mix it well.
Make a smooth solution,
there should be no lumps.
Corn flour will give it a great taste
and thickness too.
A smooth solution is ready.
Soup is boiling,
now pour it in
and keep stirring it
so no lumps are formed in it.
Keep stirring it
till it comes to a boil.
It has come to a boil,
now cook it at low flame for 4 minutes.
Stir it once in a while.
1-1.5 teaspoon of sugar.
You can add more or less sugar
as you like.
1 teaspoon of butter.
You can add more or less butter
and can skip it too.
Boiled it for 4 minutes at low flame.
The soup is ready.
Look at its colour
and consistency,
both are perfect.
To add colour we added beetroot.
Do not add food colour in the soup for colour.
It is better to avoid eating food colour.
Serve it.
We beated a little malai,
garnish it like this.
Can garnish it with cream
and can add butter as well.
And if you do not garnish it with anything,
then also soup will taste great.
Tomato soup is ready.
We made this bread toast
and chopped small croutons.
Can serve by putting this as well.
Hot tomato soup is ready to serve.
This much soup is sufficient for 3-4 members of a family.
You won't face any problem in making it.
But while pouring corn flour solution
keep stirring the the soup
so no lumps are made.
You will make a very good tomato soup.
You must make it
and share your experiences with me.
And let me know what should I make next for you.
