This is my first post on soup recipes. Tomato soup using fresh tomatoes is the one and only soup I order whenever we go out for dinner. But no two restaurants serve tomato soup (thakkali soup) in same taste. Everybody has their own variations. Among all the soups I have tasted, I would say the best tasting soup is the one I had in Salem”Lakshmi Hotel – Salem, Tamilnadu’’. It was the bestest. 
My total family is a big fan of that soup and sometimes we have gone there for dinner just to taste that soup. Every time I keep sniffing/smelling the soup to find out the ingredients and I tried many times to recreate the same. At last I succeeded in my attempt. This tomato soup tastes 90% close to that soup.  I got the same color and taste. I have not used carrot, beetroot or cream . This is just the original color of fresh tomatoes. 
Sendhil and Raksha loved it a lot. Do try this simple, easy and yummy restaurant style tomato soup recipe and let me know your feedback. Here is my small attempt in capturing the steam..How is it ? Lets see how to make this easy south indian tomato soup recipe.

  • Serve hot with bread croutons.
  NOTE
  • Generally a piece of carrot or beetroot would be added to the tomatoes while cooking to give a nice color. But I din’t use any as my tomatoes itself were ripe with a nice color.
  • If you add carrot or beetroot, do not grind it along with tomatoes. Please discard them after you pressure cook.
  • For making bread croutons, cut the bread into slices, apply little oil. Bake in a convection oven at 180c for 20 mins. Flip it once in the middle. U’ll get a super crispy bread croutons which you can serve with this yummy soup. It tastes great !


Serve hot topped with toasted bread pieces and pepper powder ! It tastes yummy!
