Vegan Tomato Basil Soup Recipe
Light and Refreshing Tomato Basil soup made with fresh tomatoes with no flour, no cream and no vegetable stock added. It is a vegan soup.Prep time: Cook time: Total time:
Yield: 1 cup (1 serving)
Ingredients required :
Tomatoes (Chopped) : 1 cup
Red Onions (chopped) : 1/4 cup
Olive oil : 1 Tablespoon
Cumin Seeds : 1/4 Teaspoon
Dried Bay Leaf : 1 no
Ground Black Pepper : 1/4 teaspoon
Dried Basil leaves : 1/2 teaspoon

- Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pan and add cumin seeds and bay leaves and fry for about a minute. Then add chopped onions and fry till they are translucent.
- Then add chopped tomatoes and cook till they are soft.
- Then add dried basil leaves and cook for another minute.
- Add 1 cup of water, mix well and let it simmer in low heat for about 15 minutes. Turn off the heat.
- Let the mixture cool, remove the bay leaf and then puree it in blender.
- Return it to the pan and turn on the heat till it is warm as required. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
Notes :
- Taste of the soup totally depends on the tomatoes used. I have used tomatoes on the vine.
- If you have fresh basil available, you can replace about 1/2 tablespoon of chopped fresh basil for 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil.
- If you like the soup smooth, you can run it through a strainer if you want.
- If you prefer you can add vegetable stock, instead of water. But I preferred adding water.
