Tomato Soup Indian Style

Soup is usually served as a starter or entree before main course meal. Tomato Soup is my favourite soup. This is a quick and easy Indian version of soup. It can be prepared with easily available ingredients in home. Serve this soup with bread croutons.  Corn flour is added as a thickening agent. This is the only soup loved by my kid. So I prepare it frequently for him. Please check below for step by step instructions and pictures for preparing Indian Style Thick Tomato Soup.
