After some looking at different recipes, I thought I would experiment with making an Indian Tomato Soup, as I once had in a restaurant. This comes close. Warning! Indian Chili powder is much spicier than your ordinary store-bought.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 2 bay leaves

  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste

  • 1 teaspoon garam masala

  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric

  • 1 tablespoon Indian chili powder

  • ½ cup water, or as needed

  • 1 (28 ounce) can tomato puree

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

  • salt to taste

  • cup heavy cream or half-and-half (Optional)

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat; stir in onions and bay leaves, and cook about 5 minutes until the onions begin to soften. Add flour, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, turmeric, and Indian chili powder. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  2. Pour the water into the pan, and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom with a wooden spoon. Pour in the tomato puree and thin with additional water to desired consistency. Add sugar and salt; cook until sugar is dissolved and soup is hot, about 5 minutes.

  3. Remove bay leaves and serve with cream if desired.

Cook's Note

Substitute 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper for 1 tablespoon of Indian chili powder.
