Instructions
Heat butter or oil in a pan. Add black peppercorns and chopped ginger, and saute for a few seconds.
Add chopped celery and carrots, and cook for a minute.
Add chopped tomatoes, coriander stems, water, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well.
Cover the lid and cook the mixture on medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until the tomatoes are soft and thoroughly cooked.
Let the mixture cool a bit and transfer it into a blender jar. Blend it into a fine puree.
Pass the puree through the sieve. This step is necessary for the smooth and velvety tomato soup.
Transfer the puree back into a pan and heat it again. Add sugar and mix. Let this soup simmer for 5-7 minutes.
Turn off the heat and transfer the soup into serving bowls. Garnish it with cream, croutons, or as you please.
Notes
Carrot and Celery: If you do not want to use either carrot or celery or both, add 1 & ½ cups of water instead of 2 cups. Later you can add more water if needed to adjust the consistency.
Coriander Stems: Coriander stems provide a nice flavor to the soup. Skip it if you do not have it, but do not use coriander leaves.
Sugar: Add sugar as you need, more or less, depending on how tangy your soup is.
Red Chili Powder: I have used Kashmiri red chili powder, which is not too spicy but enhances the soup’s color.
