Tomato Cream Soup:
Never been a big fan of 'Tomato Soup'...all until, I discovered that Chinese restaurant near my Hostel, Delhi. During cold winters, myself and my roomie Poorani used to sneak out, to have this soup...with unique Delhi walas croutons, called 'Fans'!
That particular Chinese restaurant has an unique set of menu plan. All liquids, just slurp and drink kind of stuff! Broth based soup, creamy ones, hearty soup varieties and to finish hot cocoa coffee(their speciality, will post about it later)and much more!!
Anyways...we were crazy for this particular tomato soup, back then. They make it too good and rich!! Although I could never bring that taste, in my method...kind of satisfied with the result! I didn't use any croutons or fresh cream to garnish(you guessed it right, I never had them in my pantry). So please excuse me!
Ingredients:
Tomato puree 1 cup
Farm fresh organic whole milk 1 cup
Salt
Sugar 1 spoon
Corn starch 1-2 spoons
MSG 1 pinch(optional)
Butter 1 cube
White pepper 1 spoon
Black pepper to garnish
Croutons 4-6 per bowl
Fresh cream 1 spoon full to garnish
Mint leaves to garnish(optional).
Method:
Melt butter in a wide vessel. Add corn starch, salt, sugar and white pepper + MSG. Stir them slowly over low heat...until they turn color.
Now add silkened tomato puree...bring them to bubly level. Now add milk and bring them to boil too.
Add croutons and cream just before serving. Serve warm.
