Today is the last day of Blogging Marathon #26 Week 1 and for the past two day I have been posting soup and salad recipes. For the third day I prepared this soup according to the theme to cook with a vegetable. Whenever we visit our favourite restaurant- Temple City, the first thing we order is the tomato soup. I have tasted tomato soup in many restaurants but only at Temple City the soup is very delicious. My daughter is a great fan of this soup. I have tried many times to prepare this at home but anyhow I could never nail the taste. When I saw the recipe at Sharmis Passions, I was interested with the recipe. So today I prepared this soup and it tasted just like the soup we order at Temple City. I altered the recipe a little and it tasted awesome.
