  • 1/4 Cup Sliced Onion
  • 3 Tbsp Sliced Beetroot
  • 6 Medium Tomatoes
  • 1/2 Tsp Black Pepper (Crushed)
  • 3/4 Tsp Salt
  • 1 Tsp Dried Basil
  • 1 Tbsp Sugar

   For Corn Flour Slurry:

 For Croutons:

Instructions
 

For Croutons:

  • Set a pan on medium heat and add butter. Once the butter melts, add  ¼ tsp of salt, garlic powder, and black pepper powder and mix well.
  • Place tea rusks and flip them after a few seconds. Remove them and allow to cool. Using a knife cut them into cubes and your crunchy croutons are ready.

For Tomato Soup:

  • Set a pan on medium heat, add butter, crushed bay leaves, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Saute for a minute.
  • Add sliced or chopped onions and saute for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add sliced or chopped beetroot and saute for another minute.
  • Add finely chopped fresh tomatoes, crushed black pepper, salt, dried basil,  and sugar. Mix and mash well.
  • Add water and stir well. Cover and boil for 12-15 minutes for veggies to cook well. Allow to slightly cool before straining.
  • Meanwhile in a bowl add corn flour, and water and stir well using a spoon to make lump-free slurry.
  • Strain the soup mixture into another pan using a sieve and press down the pulp using a spoon or spatula to extract the liquid.
  • Set the pan back on stove top on medium high heat and add the required amount of corn flour slurry to thicken the soup. Mix well and boil for a few minutes.
  • Sprinkle some salt, crushed black pepper, and crunchy croutons.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use bread slices too for making croutons. Just toast them until they turn crunchy and later cube to the required size.
  • You can use a blender jar to puree the cooked tomato mixture and then sieve the smooth pulp.
  • Avoid food color as beetroots give perfect color to the soup.
