Here is the recipe..
Ingredients
- 1 big Carrot (sliced)
- 3 med-big Tomato (sliced)
- 1 small-medium Onion (sliced)
- 1/2 tsp Chopped garlic
- 1 Cardamom
- 1/2 tsp Whole black pepper
- 3 cups Water
- 4 Small onion / Pearl onion (sliced)
- 1 tsp Ghee
- 1/2 tbsp Chopped coriander leaves
- Oil (I used olive oil)
- Salt
Instructions
- Heat oil in a pressure cooker and add chopped garlic, sliced onion, tomato, carrot, black pepper , cardamom seeds and salt. Cook for 3-4 mins and add water. Bring it to a boil and close the pressure cooker.
- Cook on high flame for 4 whistles. Switch off the gas and keep the cooker closed till the pressure drops, around 10-15 mins.
- Separate the cooked veggies and the stock. Let the veggies cool to room temp. Grind the cooled veggies along with 1/2 cup of stock to a smooth paste.
- Mix the ground veggies and the remaining stock in a deep vessel. Bring it to a boil and reduce the flame to lowest and cook till it becomes slightly thick, around 8-10 mins. Do a taste test and add more salt and pepper if you require.
- You can also adjust the consistency of the soup by adding more hot water for a thinner consistency or cooking a bit longer for a thicker version.
- Heat ghee in a pan and add the sliced small onion. Fry till it turns golden brown. Crush the fried onion and add it to the soup along with chopped coriander leaves.
- Serve hot.
Notes
For a creamier version of the soup, you can add some hot milk in the end. The soup keeps well in the fridge for 2-3 days.
Do a taste test of your tomato before adding and adjust the qty accordingly to get your preferred level of tanginess.

Love your recipes
Thank you very much Urmila :)
I sorta done this but didn’t pre cook the veggies before putting it into a slow cooker, thinking it would all cook and melt down nicely! wrong, it taste awful and is just mashed up, lumpy veggies – is it because i didn’t pre cook the veggies before blending them down? Can i save it?
Hi Rhea,
I’ve never tried this recipe without precooking, but I guess it wont be great if it’s not cooked. May be you can try heating the mashed up veggies for sometime and see.
Cheers

Hi Rita,
You can use agar agar (china grass) instead of gelatine.
