Spicy tomato rasam soup

Serves: 4

Cooking Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

45ml (3 tbsp) sunflower oil
10ml (2 tsp) mustard seeds
10ml (2 tsp) cumin seeds
10ml (2 tsp) coriander seeds
6 large tomatoes, quartered
2 garlic cloves
a knob of fresh ginger
60ml (¼ cup) tomato purée
1 chilli, seeded
10ml (2 tsp) ground turmeric
1,2L vegetable stock, hot
a handful of fresh coriander

Instructions

Heat the oil in a small pot and add the seeds. Fry until the mustard seeds start to pop, a few seconds. Separate the seeds and oil, and set the oil aside.

Add the remaining ingredients to a blender plus the seeds and blend until smooth.

Pour the soup mixture into the fragrant oil and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, about 15 minutes.

Pour the soup into bowls and serve hot.
