Tomato Carrot Soup

This one is classic taste plus health combine. While the tomato soup is common and I have grown up with different versions of this soup which is enjoyed by both vegetarians and non-vegetarians universally. I was reminded of this soup at dinner at a friend’s place in Kolkata last winter. Our dear friend’s wife had made the perfect Tomato carrot soup. One tip I would recommend. I normally boil the tomato and carrots in the pressure cooker for a longer period of time sometimes more than the standard five to six whistles. Once blended, the addition time in the pressure cooker pre-empts the need for sieving thereby enhancing taste while preserving the nutritional value of the ingredients. I would recommend serving this soup with warm dinner rolls or soup sticks. . Happy fooding around with the Tomato carrot Soup!
