    Healthy Tomato Soup/ how to make nutritious tomato soup

    Tomato Soup is a winter delicacy enjoyed by most of  us. Here is a healthier version of tomato soup ideal for all.

    Winter brings with it its own charm and beauties. Good weather, whole array of veggies in the market and a lot of holidays. There is no dearth for any veggies, some veggies are at throw away prices. One such is tomato. Try this version of Healthy Tomato Soup, bright colour, tastes good and healthy too.

    I have added other vegetables along with tomato. They are beetroot and carrot. Beetroot and carrots are highly nutritious vegetables. Beetroot imparts a good taste and bright colour to it. Carrot is another veggie which is highly recommended for good eyes and bones. Isn’t this a good way to feed fussy children?

  • Cream of Tomato soup

    Cream of Tomato soup

    Cream of Tomato Soup is a popular winter treat when vegetables are available in plenty. It is ideal for the cold winter nights.

    Appetisers are anything, food and drink that are served before the food, which are considered to increase the pangs of hunger. These are usually served during parties and it can include a whole array of juices, soups and tasty snacks which are usually eaten in just a few nibbles. This “Appetisers”  marks a new category in my blog. Today I present to you  “Cream of Tomato Soup”.

     

    Tomato Soup is the most cherished and the oldest ever known soup to us. It is a classic soup which you can serve for any occasion, be it a party or just a get-together.

    The making of soup involves three steps.

    •  Boiling of vegetables
    • Extracting of pulp
    • Making of the soup

    When you boil the vegetables, never discard the water. It is rich in nutrients, you can add it later in the soup. To extract the pulp, you need a blener or a grinder and a metal sieve, neither too small or big.

    Sending this to Foodies _Redoing Old Post _144. It is a fortnightly event, a group of bloggers work together on an old post, it can either be by fixing with a better picture or adding more text.
