Tomato soup recipe – a soup which is commonly available in all restaurants. Can I say it’s a basic soup recipe if anyone wants to make. However its easy or basic, the taste varies from restaurant to home made. I tried making this tomato soup recipe with closer touch to restaurant style. I served with home made bread croutons. Croutons are the best combo for soups ever. Simple toased bread cubes are enough to serve or serve it plain with a dot of cream and pepper powder.
