Since, winters are here and it is a great time to try something delicious, warm and healthy. So I am to let you guys know about this yummy soup.
Ingredients:
- 675g tomatoes, peeled and chopped.

- 1 tsp corn flour/corn starch.
- 2 tsp cream to garnish (optional).
Recipe:
- To peel the tomatoes, plunge them in very hot water, leave for 30 seconds, then take them out. The skin should now peel off easily. If not, put the tomatoes back in the water for a little longer. Once they have been peeled, roughly chop the tomatoes.
- In a medium, heavy pan, heat the oil and fry the tomatoes, bay leave, and spring onion for a few minutes until soft.
- Gradually add the salt, garlic, peppercorns and coriander, Pour in the water. Stir, then simmer gently over a low heat for 15-20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, dissolve the corn flour in a little cold water to form a thick creamy paste.
- Remove the soup from the heat and leave to cool slightly for a few minutes. Press through a sieve (strainer), puree in blender or food processor.
- Return the pureed soup to the pan, add the corn flour mixture and stir over a gentle heat for about 3 min until thickened.
