Strawberry and Tomato Soup



This week has been hectic at work, conference calls, meetings, dicussions phewwwwww the list goes on and on.....Yesterday after a hard day of work, i didnt have the energy to cook a full fledged meal. I wanted something which can be made in jiffy and which is smoothing after a long days work. I had fresh strawberries which i had bought on the weekend, which were screaming to be used, initially i had bought them to make a strawberry roll but what the hell i made this lovely, smoothing strawberry and tomato soup. Mildy spiced this soup is ready in no time and can be served warm or chilled. If served for kids, you can add in some cream and cheese :)) 


Sending this to No Croutons Required event started by Lisa of Lisa's Kitchen, the theme for this month's event is berries. Also sending this to CKF - Tomato guest hosted by Rinku mastermind of Sharmi at Neivedyam also to 15 minutes cooking event by Mahimaa, and finally to WYF : Quick Meal Event hosted by EC. Happy hosting gals :)





Ingredients:
1 can tomatoes
1/2 cup fresh strawberries chopped
1 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp red chili powder
Salt to taste




Procedure:

  • Grind together tomatoes and strawberries into a smooth paste.
  • Pass through the strainer to remove the seeds
  • In a vessel heat this mixture along with salt, sugar and red chili powder.
  • Bring it to boil and cook for around 7 to 8 mins.
  • Serve hot with salad and bread.

Note: You can increase or decrease the quantity of sugar and chili according to your taste. Pin It
