Notes
Add butter and saute the shallots in butter, is very important because the butter will always enhance the taste of all the soup recipes.
I skip adding chopped garlic will sauteeing with butter because my little one does n't like the garlic taste. Please do add garlic in your soup is really good for health.
I have ground the tomatoes pureed and added to the soup, it reduces the cooking time and enhances the taste of soup try this way or simply add the ripen tomatoes but make sure that you need to cook the tomatoes till it turns soft and mushy.
