Tomato Soup



          Winters have crept in and we are trying to warm ourselves in every possible manner with food, clothing and shelter. Three basic necessities which unfortunately millions are deprived off. So today apart from the recipe I request you to help today someone, somewhere in need and remember good actions never go in waste but, if you are unable to do so because of some reason atleast be the reason someone smiles today! :)


          I'm sure everybody will love the idea of having a warm bowl of soup on a winter evening all by themselves relishing the taste and being lost in thoughts. Well, that's how I love to spend my winter evenings and as for the soup Tomato Soup tops the list.


         Tomato Soup is a very basic dish a beginner level one and this recipe is so simple and easy to prepare it will tempt and motivate you to get off your chair and make yourself a bowl right now. You just have to assemble the ingredients (which I'm sure will be present in everybody's kitchen), a little chopping, boiling and blending and that's done...

                                                  
     
               I added croutons as my dad loves them very much infact he complained that he was served less croutons while he was given the maximum :D and coming to the soup he praised and praised it for an entire day till I was bored but then the inner me got greatly satisfied :)
