Tomato and Carrot Clear Soup

Ever got stuck in a situation where all you have in the kitchen is a little of this vegetable and a little of that? Happens more than often with me.

If one weekend goes by without subzi shopping, I am stranded with left overs, lentils and random vegetables.

Anyway, pati loves clear soup and I tolerate it somehow 🙂 [I am a thick soup fan]

I read about the clear tomato recipe some where sometime back and it stuck with me. The broth looked beautiful and I was sure it shall be divine as well. To be very frank I was not disappointed at all.

All this soup needed was 6 things:

4…Medium Size Tomatoes [chopped]

2… Carrots [Peeled and diced]

1 Tbsp… Butter

Salt

Pepper

1/2 tsp… Sugar

Method:

• In a pan, add the butter and pan fry carrots a bit.
• Add about 5 cups of water.
• Let it come to a boil, add the tomatoes.

• Cover with a lid and cook on a slow heat for 15 min.
• Remove the lid after 15 min.
• Add sugar, salt and pepper.
• Pass the contents through a muslin cloth.
• Squeeze all the goodness out of the veggies.

• You shall be left with glistening orange goodness.
• Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Serve hot with bread of your choice.
I served it with a Savory muffin.

Cheers
