Granny's Tomato Soup

This soup recipe is the best ever Tomato Soup I have ever tasted in my life. I learnt it from my grand-mom. Everyone who has tasted this has found it extremely delicious. I is easy and needs very few ingredients

Ingredients
6 medium size Roma Tomatoes
1/2 medium onion diced into 4 pieces
11/2 inch piece of ginger
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground black or white pepper
1 quart water

Method
1. In a pot boil tomatoes onions and ginger till the tomatoes start peeling off and look fully cooked.
2. Remove the pot from heat and strain the water. Preserve the strained water.
3. Using half cup of preserved water and blend the cooked ingredients to a paste
4. Pass the paste through the strainer to avoid any coarse particles from the tomatoes
5. Add the left over water to the strained paste and boil on medium heat. Add salt, sugar and pepper and give it a good stir.
6. Boil it for 3 minutes. Add more water if you prefer it thin and serve hot.

Note:
1. Any type of tomatoes can be used. I have used Roma for a good color
2. If the color fades out after add water, just add 2 to 3 tablespoons of tomato ketchup
3. My grand-mom used to temper the soup with cumin and butter (heat 2 tablespoons of salted butter and add 1/2 spoons of cumin seeds to it. Remove from heat when cumin seeds splutter, add this butter to the soup and cover it).

Try this soup for sure. It is easy and yummy. Kids will love it for sure.
