Now that the weather is getting colder, it’s nice to have freshly made hot soup for a quick lunchtime snack or as a starter when inviting friends to dinner. Here’s my quick and easy tomato and vegetable soup recipe. You can use the same recipe for nearly any vegetables you may have in your cupboard. If you do not have fresh tomatoes, you can always use tinned tomatoes.
1. Grate the potato, onion,carrot and pepper.
4. Add the herbs like ginger, garlic and the spices like turmeric, salt and pepper.
5. Once the tomatoes start to soften, add two cups of water to the mixture.
6. Cook until all the vegetables soften. If you have the time, add another cup of water and allow this to simmer on a low flame for half an hour.
7. Either transfer the thick soup into a blender or using a hand blender, blend the soup. At this stage if you find that the soup is too thick – you can add some boiling water to the soup.
8. Add the cream, taste the soup and make adjustments as required. If you find the tomatoes to be quite sharp – you can add a bit of honey or jaggery to the soup.
9. Serve the soup with croutons and warm French bread. If you enjoy hearty vegetable dishes you may want to learn how to make ratatouille at home.
