Description
After some looking at different recipes, I thought I would experiment with making an Indian Tomato Soup, as I once had in a restaurant. This comes close. Warning! Indian Chili powder is much spicier than your ordinary store-bought.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 tablespoon Indian chili powder
- ½ cup water, or as needed
- 1 (28 ounce) can tomato puree
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- salt to taste
- ⅓ cup heavy cream or half-and-half (Optional)
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat; stir in onions and bay leaves
- and cook about 5 minutes until the onions begin to soften. Add flour
- ginger-garlic paste
- garam masala
- turmeric
- and Indian chili powder. Cook and stir until fragrant
- about 1 minute.
- Pour the water into the pan
- and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom with a wooden spoon. Pour in the tomato puree and thin with additional water to desired consistency. Add sugar and salt; cook until sugar is dissolved and soup is hot
- about 5 minutes.
- Remove bay leaves and serve with cream if desired.
