spicy tomato soup :)

Written By Twilight Librarium

i LOVE soup, and i especially love soup that’s quick and easy to make after work ٩(◕‿◕)۶ the cold season is just about over so i want to get as many soups in as possible

i picked up some elephant garlic so i’m just using a chunk of that today

ingredients

  • 28-32 oz can crushed tomatoes

  • 1 carrot

  • 1 onion

  • 4 cloves garlic

  • 2 cups water

  • olive oil

  • 1/2 tsp cumin seeds

  • 1 tsp coriander powder

  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder

  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

  • salt, pepper, sugar to taste

first i like to get all my veggies chopped !

heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in your pot, and add your cumin seeds to lightly toast

add your carrots and onions and sautee until soft

i get all my spices ready while i sweat my onions and carrots

add your spices to the veggies and blend with your water until smooth

add your can of crushed tomatoes! you can blend it as well if it’s too chunky, but i like to keep some tomatoes in :)

this is also where i salt, pepper, and sugar to taste. the sugar helps cut the acidity of the tomatoes, so make sure to continue tasting as you add your seasoning

i served my soup with a dollop of sour cream, pickled cabbage, and a toasty slice of khachapuri. all in all, super easy and comforting work night dinner!

let me know if you tried this recipe and how it worked out for you!
