I know, tomato soup is the most common of all the soups which is most preferred. I made tomato soup many a times.

So, I wanted to try the same with a twist by adding carrots too, as my three kids love eating carrots. Moreover, makes it more nutritious and filling.

And it was perfect for this rainy and chilling weather these days. My kids and husband had their eyes up with cheer, when they had their first spoonful…:-) Happy me!!  Even you can try and please your dear ones!!

Prep Work (for both methods):

Firstly, wash the tomatoes & carrots. Peel the carrots & onions. Cut all of them into big chunks.

Stove Top Method Tomato Carrot Soup:

Take the veggie chunks into a blender / processor / mixie and grind into a puree by adding half a cup of water.

Transfer this puree into a thick bottomed vessel.

Then, add one cup of water, put the vessel on stove top under high flame.

Let it boil until it thickens, might be for around 10 to 12 mins.

At this stage, add the salt, cumin powder and ground pepper powder.

Mix everything thoroughly and switch the flame off. Done!!

Instant Pot Method Tomato Carrot Soup:

Transfer all the vegetable chunks into the IP vessel. Add enough water to soak the veggies completely.

Tips:

  • Continuous stirring is not needed while the veggie puree is getting boiled.
  • I did not add any corn flour to this soup for thickening , but you can if you wish to.
  • You can garnish the soup with dried herbs, fresh herbs, garlic powder, chilli flakes. etc. I added chilly flakes.
  • Serve the tomato soup hot with croutons or bread or chips or papad too.
  • Yes, you can reheat the soup unlike the store bought soup in a cup sachets. That’s a good news right!! 
  • It tasted the same even after 2 days of storing.
  • Above measurements were enough for 4 servings. 

Result:

  • The colour of the soup is so bright, taken from the tomatoes and carrots.
  • When I tasted this soup it’s exactly the same, that I had at a restaurant, sometime back.
  • This, One Pot Tomato Carrot Soup, completely filled up our tummies, as we had loads of toasted bread along with it.
