Tomato soup is our weekly staple as it packs tons of flavors in each spoonful. I like to have it on its own but my family loves it with some grilled cheese or pulao. This tomato soup recipe is a keeper because it comes together in no time and only uses a handful ingredients readily available in any pantry. Good quality whole tomatoes and bit of beetroot & potato adds a deep rich creamy flavor base to this soup.
I have made this tomato soup recipe in the pressure cooker. Alternatively you can use Instant Pot which gives this soup a slow-simmered flavor.
Ingredients & Substitutions:
This make from scratch soup recipe requires easily available ingredients. Hence, you can pull this together on a busy weekday meal.
Tomatoes: I like to use vine-ripened tomatoes as they are naturally sweet in flavor. Alternatively, you can use roma or plum tomatoes.
Onion: I use sweet yellow or white onion but you can use red onion too.
Beetroot: Adds a beautiful color to the soup , a little goes a long way.
Garlic: I highly recommend using fresh garlic over jarred garlic. Fresh garlic adds a lovely flavor to the soup.
Potato: Helps in thickening the soup , making it creamy in texture without addition of any heavy cream.
Ghee: I have used ghee s it adds a nutty flavor to the soup . Alternatively, you can use butter or any neutral oil of your choice.
Granulated Sugar : Brown sugar or jaggery are good substitutes .
Nutritional Yeast: Alternatively, use cheese of your choice.

How To Serve Tomato Soup :
There is nothing more comforting than a steaming hot bowl of this creamy tomato soup. Serve it with a grilled cheese, steamed rice or vegetable pulav. You have the ultimate cold weather meal ready within no time.
I like to drizzle some olive oil and pesto on the soup just before serving. You can even add some croutons.
