Ingredients You will Need (and Why Each Matters)
🥫 6 Ripe Tomatoes (Medium-Sized)
-
The heart of the soup—fresh, ripe tomatoes bring natural tanginess, vibrant red color, and a rich base to the recipe. The riper, the better for a deeper flavor.
🧅 1 Medium Onion (Chopped)
-
Onions add sweetness and depth. When sautéed, they enhance the soup’s aroma and balance the acidity of tomatoes.
🧄 3–4 Garlic Cloves
-
Garlic adds a mild spice and earthiness. It infuses the soup with a warm, savory undertone that complements the tomatoes.
🥕 1 Medium Carrot (Optional)
-
Used to naturally sweeten the soup and reduce tanginess—great for those who prefer a less acidic taste without adding sugar.
🧈 1 Tbsp Butter or Olive Oil
-
Used for sautéing onion and garlic, butter gives a rich and creamy flavor while olive oil is a healthier alternative with a lighter taste.
💧 1 Cup Water or Vegetable Stock
-
Thins the tomato puree and gives it a soup-like consistency. Vegetable stock adds extra flavor; water is a more neutral option.
🧂 Salt to Taste
-
Essential for enhancing and balancing all the natural flavors in the soup.
⚫ Black Pepper to Taste
-
Adds a slight heat and sharpness. It also works well with tomatoes and garlic to deepen the overall flavor.
🍬 A Pinch of Sugar (Optional)
-
Balances the acidity of tomatoes if they are too sour. Especially helpful when skipping carrots.
🥛 Fresh Cream for Garnish (Optional)
-
Adds creaminess and a visual appeal. It also rounds off the soup with a smooth finish if you prefer a richer texture.
🌿 Fresh Basil or Coriander for Garnish
-
Herbs not only brighten the flavor but also make your soup visually appealing. Basil pairs well with tomato, while coriander adds a fresh Indian touch.

Step-by-Step: How to Make Tomato Soup at Home
Step 1: Prepare the Tomatoes
Wash and roughly chop the tomatoes and carrot. Place them in your Omichef Triply Saucepan with 1 cup of water. Add a pinch of salt and boil for 10–12 minutes until soft. You will notice Triply cookware prevents scorching even if you forget to stir constantly.
Step 2: Blend to Smooth
Allow the boiled mix to cool slightly. Then transfer the contents into a blender or use a hand blender directly in the saucepan. Blend until smooth.
Step 3: Strain for Silky Texture
Use your Omichef Stainless Steel Strainer to remove any seeds or tomato skin from the puree. This gives your soup a professional, velvety finish.
Step 4: Sauté Aromatics
In your Triply Frypan, heat butter or olive oil. Add chopped onions and garlic, sauté until golden. This step is crucial for flavor depth.
Step 5: Combine and Simmer
Add the strained tomato puree to the pan. Stir well. Add salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar if the tomatoes are too tangy. Simmer the soup on low heat for 10–15 minutes in the Triply Frypan or Triply Kadai. The triple-layered steel helps retain the warmth and prevents sticking at the bottom—ideal for slow cooking soups.
Step 6: Serve with Style
Turn off the heat. Add a swirl of fresh cream if you like. Serve hot using your Omichef Stainless Steel Ladle. Garnish with coriander or basil leaves.
