Step-by-Step Recipe of Tomato Soup

First of all I washed out tomato with fresh cozy water to remove all the dust and dirt then I make some cuts on tomatoes skin that make it soft easy and within time when I cook it.

In the pot I add half cup water and cooked the tomatoes for 6 minutes. When tomatoes become soft I put out from the pot and peel off the skin. Then I blend it using blender for better texture and mixing.

In another pan I heated the butter and added thin chopped garlic cloves and also added scallions leaves and when its turned to golden brown then it's the right time to add the tomatoes mixture after adding it I will continually stirring it, for better taste.

Now I added salt, black pepper, zera powder, soya sauce and chili sauce and also add some chicken powder for better taste and texture. I also added after few minutes one cup water for better texture and consistency.

In the end I added wheat flour solution for better consistency and Cook it for 3 to 4 minutes more. After some time soup becomes perfect condition and it's looks like a restaurant soup. Then I served in the bowl with tomato 🍅.
