Looking for a healthy winter soup recipe that boosts immunity and keeps seasonal illnesses away? Tomato and Black Pepper Soup with cold pressed oil is a nourishing, flavour-packed option that is easy to prepare and perfect for cold weather.
This traditional soup combines the goodness of fresh tomatoes with the natural healing properties of black pepper. Black pepper is widely known for its ability to relieve cough, cold, and throat irritation. When cooked with cold pressed oil, the soup retains essential nutrients and enhances overall digestion and immunity.
Using cold pressed oil preserves natural antioxidants, vitamins, and healthy fats that support immunity and digestion. Unlike refined oils, cold pressed oil enhances flavour without compromising nutritional value, making it ideal for healthy soup recipes.
Add water to a heavy-bottomed pan and bring it to a boil. Roughly chop the tomatoes and add them to the pan.
Add salt and turmeric powder, then allow the mixture to simmer until the tomatoes soften completely.
Dry roast black peppercorns and cumin seeds until fragrant. Cool and grind them into a coarse powder.
Lightly crush the garlic cloves. Heat cold pressed oil in a pan and sauté the garlic until golden.
Add the ground pepper and cumin powder to the garlic and switch off the heat.
Pour this spice mixture into the tomato base and boil for another 2–3 minutes to blend all flavours.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot.
