You Need:

  • 5 large Tomatoes
  • 6-7 Italian Basil Leaves
  • 4 Garlic Cloves
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 1 tsp Tomato Ketchup
  • 1/4 tsp Butter
  • 1/4 tsp Cumin Seeds
  • 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup Water or Vegetable Stock
  • Salt and Black Pepper to taste

For Tomato Rub:

  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • A pinch of Dried Basil Leaves
  • Salt and Black Pepper To Taste

How To Make It:

  1. Start with cutting tomatoes into circles. Put them in a bowl and add all the tomato rub ingredients. Mix everything well.

  2. Now arrange the tomatoes on a baking sheet. Add whole garlic cloves. Roast the tomatoes at 350 F for 20 minutes.

  3. Once done, take them out of the oven and let them rest at the room temperature for few minutes.

  4. Now add the roasted tomatoes to the food processor. Add half of the basil leaves and make a puree. Keep it aside.

  5. In a saucepan heat butter and add roasted cumin seeds. Add the remaining chopped basil leaves. Now add the tomato puree, (make sure the heat is on low). Let it simmer for a minute or so. Then add the tomato ketchup, sugar, and water. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper too.

  6. Once the soup comes to a boil, add the heavy cream and cook for a minute. Then turn off the heat.

  7. Pour soup into the serving bowl, garnish with cream and serve warm.

Recipe Notes

  • Make sure you keep the flame on low while making the soup in the pot.
  • Adding heavy cream is optional. Though it helps in reducing the extra sour and tart taste of tomatoes.
  • You can adjust the quantity of sugar in the soup according to your preference.
