My Mom’s Tomato soup !!!

This soup is more like a Tomato broth than soup. But all the aromas from cumin and clove makes it so irresistible in winter. Well it took me few years to figure out that why my soup didn’t had any color when I made it in winter in USA. Because in India tomatoes are winter vegetable (or fruit) and in USA they are in season in summer.

So if you want to make a tomato soup with nice color add a little bit of tomato Ketchup or tomato puree. Or make it in the season.

Oh No…. The chef went missing !!!
