Ingredients:

•     8 medium Tomatoes
•     1 Garlic
•     2 tablespoons Olive oil
•     1 medium sized Onion
•     1 Bay leaf
•     Salt to taste
•     2 sprigs fresh thyme (Ajwain ka Phool)
•     1/2 cup Tomato puree
•     10-12 Basil leaves (Tulsi)
•     Crushed black peppercorns
•     1 slice White breadBasil oil to drizzle

The How-to Prepare Spicy Tomato Soup

•  Peel and chop the tomatoes and onion.
•  Next, slice the garlic bulb to get a thin slice. Take this slice in a bowl and add some salt and olive oil. Place this bowl in the oven on high heat till the garlic is brown.
•  Now, fry the onion, tomatoes, bay leaf and salt in a little olive oil. Add 2-3 cloves of garlic to this and then pour in some water.
•  To the water, add the entire remaining bulb of garlic and the thyme sprigs and allow the pan to boil.
•  After it is properly boiled, pour in the tomato puree, basil leaves and crushed pepper.
•  Allow the soup to cook till the tomatoes are cooked and soft.
•  Strain the mixture and remove the garlic bulb, and thyme sprigs. You will be left with some thin strained stock and a thick mixture.
•  Set the stock aside for later use.
•  Now blend the thick mixture, adding a little water if necessary. In the last whisk of the blender, add a slice of brown bread to the soup.
•  Lastly, take both the stock and puree in a pan and boil it.
•  Serve this unique tomato soup piping hot, garnished with basil leaves or basil oil.
