Incredible Nordstrom Tomato Soup
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 medium Carrots chopped
- 1 large Onion chopped
- 4 medium Tomatoes roughly sliced
- ½ tsp Oregano
- Salt
- ¼ tsp Black Pepper Powder
- 400 ml Water
- 2-3 tbsp Heavy Cream
- 6-7 Basil Leaves
Instructions
- Take a skillet, heat olive oil in it, and add chopped onion and carrots, and oregano. Saute them over medium heat till the onion becomes translucent.
- Add the roughly sliced tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Give it a stir, and add water.
- Now cover the skillet, and let it simmer on medium heat for 10-15 minutes till all the ingredients have become mushy.
- Transfer the mixture to a blender and blitz thoroughly. Then strain the mixture properly to get a smooth soup.
- Transfer it to the skillet, switch on the flame on low heat, and add heavy cream, and basil leaves.
- Make final adjustments to the soup by adding more water, salt, or pepper, and let it simmer for a minute.
- Now pour the soup into a bowl, and finish it with basil leaves and heavy cream on top before serving.
Notes
- Make it spicy: If you like to infuse some heat into the soup, saute red chilies with onion and carrots, or add red chili flakes on top of the soup.
- Replace dried basil with oregano: Dried basil also works best if you don't have oregano. Its fresh aroma and hay-like flavor add a depth similar to oregano.
