#8 Tomato Soup



Tomato soup is comforting and warm. It can make a bleak day look much much happier. One sip and you'll have warmth streaming into your body from your fingertips to your toes!

You need tomatoes, onions, garlic, red chili powder, oil, cream and some stock or water for this yummy soup.


You want to start by blanching and peeling your tomatoes.


You then fry your onions and garlic in a bit of oil. And simply throw in your blanched tomatoes.



You then break down the tomatoes with the back of your spoon or spatula. Considering the tomatoes are already cooked, this should happen quite easily. Pour your stock or water over the tomato, onion and garlic mixture. Sprinkle your chili too. Allow this mixture to simmer for a couple of minutes. Puree and pour into a cup. Spoon some cream on top, and you are good to go!
