In a restaurant, Tomato Soup costs from ₹150 to ₹200, and it is served with extra colour and flavours, and it is frequently canned food.
However, homemade soup costs less than ₹100 for a family of four. For rapid cooking, you can use a pressure cooker. And your kids will undoubtedly like it.
Here, we have the full recipe shared by Ganesh Prasad Mishra sir from his kitchen.
