Hot and spicy Tomato Soup

This is a great spicy Indian style tomato soup, especially great on a cold night.


What you will need:

• Large tomatoes - 4
• Coriander leaves - a bunch
• Garlic - 3 to 4 cloves
• Green chilli - 1
• Onion - 1 small, chopped
• Cinnamon - small piece
• Pepper corns - 6 to 8
• Cloves - 4
• Salt to taste
• Water - 2 cups
• Butter - 1 tbsp

How to prepare

• Cut the tomatoes into half and place them in a baking tray. Cook them in the oven at the maximum temperature for about 20 minutes.
• In a pan, heat the butter and add cinnamon, cloves, pepper, slit green chilli and chopped onion. Add a pinch of salt and fry until the onions are slightly browned.
• Blend the onion mixture and then add the tomatoes and blend them all together in a mixer.
• Boil the mixture in a pan with 2 cups of water. If you want the soup really thick, just add 1 cup of water. When the mixture starts boiling, add half of the chopped coriander leaves. 
• Add a dollop of butter on top, sprinkle some coriander leaves and serve hot.
