It started raining again!!
Now working from home means an easy access to tea/coffee especially when it’s such a tempting weather. However today I attempted for a healthier choice of Tomato Basil Soup. The reason being soups are the next best choice for me after a cup of ginger tea in monsoons and secondly Tomato Basil Soup happens to be quickie. Yes it just took me 15 mins to prepare it and enjoy the flavor of roasted garlic cooked in yummy Tomato Basil Soup.
Soup also happens to bring my old childhood memories when every winters my mom would make yummy vegetable soups for us. I remember waiting for evenings so as to relish the delicious soup. Though she never made Tomato Basil Soup those days but I am sure it would have tasted even better had she made it.
This recipe here is inspired by one of those of Sanjeev Kapoor’s and I used home grown Tulsi Leaves (Indian Basil) but you might want to use dried basil leaves as well. Just to keep the calorie count down I used ½ tsp of olive oil but you can as well add some butter to it and enhance the taste more.Try using ripe tomatoes otherwise adding ½ tsp of sugar would just help.
