Iam Crazy about Tomato Soup, which my ammamma used to make with loads of vegetables in it. apart it, When i wrote a story for the first time at my class 7, has Tomato Soup played an important role. to brief the story here, the girl in the story drinks lots of tomato soup and suffers from stomach ache and the girls sister gets caught in trouble while going out to get medicine. though it sounds funny all, the memories are as bright as the soup colour!
While speaking about the bright red colour of the soup, it all comes from a small bit of beetroot. thats a trick i got from Suganya's Tasty Pallette.

[Recipe for two]
Ripe Red Tomatoes - 3 or 4
Carrot - 1
Beetroot - 1 small piece

Ginger - 1 inch size
Cinnamon stick - 1 inch in size
Cloves - 2
Pepper - 5
Bay Leaf - 1
Star Anise - 1 small
Corn Flour - 2 spoons
Water - 2 cups
Just use a tiny bit of beetroot, its just to add bright red colour to the soup. i added big cinnamon, you dont do that. a small 1 inch size will do. its optional to have carrots, it changes the taste of the soup a little bit.
Method:
Cut the tomatoes into 4 parts. add the spices bay leaf, cinnamon stick, cloves, star anise and pepper to the tomatoes. add ginger and garlic to. add a small bit of beetroot, one chopepd carrot, corriander stems and 2 cups of water. pressure cook all together upto 3-4 whistles. alternatively you can cook them stove top for over 5-10 mins or also microwave them at very high for about 5-6 mins.
Cool them and remove the spices except pepper.
If you are serving for adults, before grinding them, remove the skin of the tomatoes, its easy. and then grind together, boil the grinded soup, add a bit of pepper powder and salt and serve.
To Serve for Kids, Grind them and filter the soup. Boil the soup. mean while mix 2 spoons of corn flour with 1/4 cup of water. add the corn starch to the boiling soup and give a stirr. let the soup boil in sim for about 2-3 mins. add Salt to taste, bit of pepper powder and aji-na-motto and serve.
