Tomato Soup with Sautéed Vegetables |
|
Serves: 6
(Sabziyon vaala Tamatar ka Soop)
Category: Tomato Soups, Vegan
Makes 6 to 8 servings
Fortified with chunks of vegetables, this soup is filling enough to be served on its own. Throw in chunks of cooked chicken (or paneer cheese for the vegetarians), or better still add the chicken pieces along with the vegetables and cook them in the soup, for a heartier version. Also, mix in some of the celery greens--they add to the flavor.

1. Heat the oil in a large nonstick pan over medium high heat. Add the bay leaf and cumin seeds; they should sizzle upon contact with the hot oil. Quickly add the leeks and cook, stirring, until they start to turn golden, 3 to 4 minutes.
2. Add the garlic, ginger, and celery, and cook, stirring, about 2 minutes, then mix in the coriander and paprika. Add the vegetables and cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
3. In a food processor or a blender, process together the tomatoes and cilantro to make a fine purée and transfer to .the pan in which the vegetables were cooked. Mix in the salt and black pepper and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the water, cover the pan, and simmer about 10 minutes.
4. Mix in the reserved vegetables and bring to a rolling boil, then simmer about 5 more minutes, or a little longer if you prefer your vegetables to be soft. Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with cilantro, and serve.
