Notes
- For preparing this tangy and delicious soup I use 2 types of fresh tomatoes. Fresh ripe plum tomatoes which gives it a robust body and a velvety texture. And baby tomatoes to add a right amount of tanginess.
- To thicken the tomato soup I do not use any thickening agent I simply use a good amount of fresh tomatoes and blend them to a creamy consistency.
- For making a smooth and silky soup, it is advised to sieve the blended soup.
- Use fresh basil and add it towards the end of cooking because oils in basil are volatile and sensitive to heat. Excessive cooking may cause loss of flavour of basil.
- Basil with tomatoes in this soup not only adds tonnes of flavours. It is a great source of antioxidants. It is anti-bacterial and provides lot of anti-inflammatory benefits too.
