  • Chef Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Measuring Cups & Spoons

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.
