Tomato Soup with a Twist

Arpit and I love Tomato soup. But I decided to make it healthier by adding beet and carrot to it. I am not a big fan of beet, but its one of the best source for iron and Vitamin C from tomatoes helps digest it better. This is one way for me to incorporate vegetables I would not eat otherwise, but are good for me.

5-6 Tomatoes
1 beet
2 carrots
1 Onion
1 tbs oil
1 tbs ginger garlic paste
cumin powder
salt
sugar
Coriander

- Peel the beet root and carrots
- Pressure Cook all the tomatoes, beet root, carrots and onion together.
- Once the cooker cools down, grind all the veggies in a blender until they are like a puree.
- Drain them in a strainer. (I do not like the tomato peel in my soup)
- Heat the soup in a pot, add salt and sugar to it and on the side prepare for its tempering
- Heat the oil in a small pan. Add ginger-garlic paste to it and cumin powder at the end and add to the soup.
- Garnish it with coriander

If you find tomato soup too sour, add one potato to it when you are boiling the veggies.

The Credit for this soup goes to Sharvi and Arpit.
