On a cool autumn evening, there is nothing better than a piping hot bowl of soup! Growing up, I had plenty of tomato soup. My grandfather loved to cook and every weekend used to be a - tomato soup and grilled chicken cook-off and I was always there to help myself :)

I prefer a smooth and silky tomato soup over the chunky ones, so I have used immersion blender to puree the soup. This soup is very healthy, low in calories and rich in Vitamin - C

Blanching tomatoes make this soup more intense in flavor and tasty. If you have never blanched tomatoes before, follow this post to learn how to quickly blanch tomatoes at home. Or you can also use store bought, canned tomatoes for this soup. If using canned tomatoes, reduce the tomato cooking time to half.

To finish, top the tomato soup with some fresh basil or garlic croutons and always serve this soup hot!

Enjoy!!

Return the pot to heat, add half of basil, and let it simmer for another 5 minutes. Taste and adjust salt and black pepper.

Savita's Notes:

Color of this soup depends all on type of tomatoes used. More ripe and deep red tomatoes will yield more deep red color soup. Orange tint is also due to cooked carrots.
