Method
- Sauté the Aromatics: Heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic and minced ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until slightly golden, then add the chopped red onions and cook until translucent.
- Add Tomatoes and Spices: Toss in the freshly chopped tomatoes. Sprinkle the sea salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes. Stir well for 2 minutes to let the tomatoes soften.
- Simmer: Pour in 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover with a lid and let simmer for 7 to 10 minutes until the tomatoes are completely mushy.
- Mash the Tomatoes: Remove the pot from the heat. Use a hand masher or the back of a large spoon to thoroughly crush the cooked tomatoes into a thick paste directly in the pot.
- Strain for Smoothness: Pour the mashed mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean serving bowl. Press down firmly with a spoon to extract all the smooth liquid and discard the leftover skins and seeds.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the warm, smooth soup with a small swirl of heavy cream and a pinch of fresh coriander. Serve hot!
