Ingredients
For Soup
- 1 tsp vegetable oil or butter
- 1 medium-size onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 6 medium-size tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cups water
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp red chilli flakes
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp ground cumin
For Toppings
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup bread cubes (bread cut into cubes of around 1 cm each)
- 1/4 cup cashew and almonds
Instructions
- Add oil and onion to a pot on medium heat. Stir and saute for about 3-5 mins until the onions caramelize.
- Once caramelized, add garlic and stir until golden, for about 2 mins.
Add the tomatoes, and salt and mix well. - Cover the pot with a lid and simmer on low to medium heat until tomatoes soften or for about 8-10 minutes, then add water along with the spices. Add cornstarch to a half cup of water, stir and add it to the soup.
- Meanwhile, heat butter in a frying pan on low heat and add almonds and cashews, roast them until golden, and once done transfer them to a bowl and let them cool. In the same pan add the bread cubes. Pan fry for 4-5 mins, stirring often until the croutons are golden and crispy.
- Bring the soup to a boil while stirring continuously to avoid lumps, simmer for 3 mins. Blend the soup with an immersion blender until creamy. Alternatively, turn off the heat, let the soup cool for a few mins, and then blend in a mixer blender.
- Again heat a large pot on medium heat, transfer the blended soup and let it boil for a few mins until you get a creamy consistency.
- Serve hot with roasted cashews and almonds and crispy croutons.
