Ingredients for making Cream of Tomato Soup:

  • Firm and well Ripened Tomatoes of normal size 8
  • Onion normal size chopped 2
  • Garlic pods 3 (Optional)
  • Carrot 1
  • Cloves 4
  • Cinnamon stick pieces 2
  • Cardamom pod 1
  • Pepper powder 2 tea spoons
  • Salt to taste
  • Sugar 1 tea spoon
  • Milk 200 ml (Boiled and well cooled)
  • Corn flour 2 tb spoons
  • All purpose flour 1 tb spoon
  • Butter 2 tb spoons




How to make Cream of Tomato Soup?


  • Take a pressure pan and heat it with a table spoon of butter. 
  • When it melts fry the cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom pod for a while and add the onions,garlic and carrot and stir for a minute, Then add the chopped tomatoes and stir well. 
  • Add required salt and a tea spoon of sugar and close it with a lid. Pressure cook up to 3 or 4 whistles.
  • After the steam is released, allow the stuff to cool down.
  •  Then grind them to fine paste in a mixie or blender. 
  • Add some water and transfer the stuff to a heavy bottomed vessel and allow to boil. 
  • Add required amount of fine pepper powder too. 
  • When the soup is getting boiled take 100 ml of milk and add the cornflour to it and mix well without lumps.
















  • Transfer this mixture to the boiling stuff and keep stirring just for a minute. 
  • It becomes thick and creamy. Switch off immediately. 
  • If boiled longer, it will curdle since milk will start to react with the salt.

In a small pan melt butter in low flame. Add the all purpose flour to it and keep stirring for few seconds. Add a cup of milk and stir. The cream is ready to decorate the soup now.

  • If you have store bought fresh cream you can use it. 
  • Fry the bread squares in ghee or oil and keep ready in advance to garnish. 
  • I usually grill the bread on both sides in microwave oven, cut and add to the soup.
