Stories From Kitchen
Since childhood, I had always love Tomato soup. I believe that was also because we didn't have much choice. The second option was Dal soup. I had enjoyed the restaurant soups as well till I realized that they were less of appetizers and more of meals.
There was a point when going to restaurant was practically just to have tomato soups and I was at a stage comparing which restaurant offered the best.
Tomato Soup is close to my heart and my daughter enjoyed this soup and it was her meal as she was really a fussy eater. Adopted and modified the recipe from Dassana from Veg recipes of India and must say that it was a big hit.
