Tomatoe Rasam/ Simple Tomato Soup

A clear tomato soup or Indian rasam. They are quite similar. Rasam is a very thin tomato soup which is tempered with Indian spices and its a must in every south indian kitchen. It is eaten with while fluffy rice. There are many ways you can make rasam. Some with a bit of tamarind, some people add a bit of cooked yellow split pea daal to it. My girls love this very simple one which I make. I serve it with any kind of meal. Its very comforting especially on a rainy day.

Green Asparagus Soup

Its the Asparagus season and every where you see, from the fresh markets to the malls you can find beautiful and crunchy ones. Although many people fancy the white Asparagus but my favourite ones are the fine green crunchy ones. In the green ones there are also two varieties, the fat ones and the thin ones. I used the thin ones here, in that case you don't have to peel them a lot, just the ends but if you are using the fat ones, then they have a lot of peel and it has to be peeled fine. I use them in different ways, just a quick stir fry, on the pizza and as a very comforting soup.
