I love a good bowl of piping hot tomato soup. In fact its the only soup I remember having during my childhood days as that’s the only thing my mom knew how to make other than mixed veg soup.
Though Rasam can be called as a soup representing South India, as it is served with rice and very watery in consistency, we do not take it seriously enough to call it as a ’soup’.
Until 2 years ago, soup was very rarely made at home, even then its mostly only during the winter time as the boys would ask for something piping hot.
But nowadays, I have to come to appreciate & respect it enough to consider it as an easy, nutritious and wholesome snack or dinner for me.
Take for example this creamy vegan tomato celery soup, I make a large batch on Sundays as a part of meal prepping & refrigerate it.
I serve it with toasted bread for my kids as a quick evening pick me up after heating it up in the microwave.
I mix in some cooked quinoa, which again cooked on Sundays to this soup for some added protein & have it for my dinner. Totally filling & satisfying when I don’t want to cook something for myself.
