Notes
1. Choose fresh, ripe red-colored, and soft tomatoes for the recipe.
2. Add little cream or milk to give it a creamy texture and flavor.
3. Adding sugar is optional as we have used beetroot in this recipe that has a natural sweetness. Or if you like it sweeter then add jaggery or sugar.
4. Decorate with butter or cheese, and mint before serving gives an aroma to the soup.
5. Make soup consistency thick or thin by adding water or a mixture of milk and water according to your preference but I recommend keeping it medium thick for a great taste.
