10 Minute Tomato Soup Rasam (TSR)

This is the simplest of soups or rasam that is very popular at my cousins place. Its too easy a soup to make and is very comforting, healthy and delicious. Served with south Indian, north Indian or international food it just takes it up an extra notch. Its just so perfect anytime. I have made it 4 times in the last 5 days on demand and they disappear. Great crowd pleaser and can be prepared with any kind of tomato. Decided to post the traditional way on the stove top.



Stove Top Method

Gadgets:

Heavy bottom pot/pan- 1
Wok for seasoning
Blender


Ingredients:

Tomatoes- 4
Water - 1  cups
Ghee /clarified butter- 3 tbsp
Cumin seeds- 2 tsp
Pepper freshly powdered - 3/4tsp (add more if you like spice)
Black Mustard seeds - 2 tsp
Asafoetida powder - a few shakes
Jaggery - a small bit



Preparation:

1.  Add water and tomatoes into a blender and puree.

2. Pass the tomato puree through a sieve and remove any leftover skin or seeds.

3. Heat a saucepan with tomato puree, salt, jaggery, and boil it covered on medium heat for 10 minutes. The color of the tomatoes would have changed to a darker rich color.

4. Heat the ghee into a seasoning pan add asafoedita, mustard seeds and wait to it pops, then add cumin and fresh ground pepper.

5. Add to tomato liquid.

6. Garnish with plenty of cilantro.
