Tomatoes are  all time favorite vegetable/fruit, available through out the year. They are  very good source of Vitamin C and their intake (in raw form ) helps to cure digestion problems. 
So here is a Delicious soup made from Tomatoes with a slight touch of Cinnamon spice!!!
This preparation is for 3 persons:

1cinnamon stick(dalchinni)
1 teaspoon black pepper powder(kaali mirch)
1/2 teaspoon black salt(kaala namak)

for garnishing:
butter(amount on ones choice)
Chopped coriander leaves
Method:
Wash the tomatoes properly in water and  boil them along with the cinnamon stick (till they get tender).
 Remove the cinnamon stick and ground tomatoes  into puree.
Sieve this puree using fine mesh sieve as we do not want remaining seeds or skin of tomato in our soup.

Put this fine puree into a pan and add water. Let it boil for few minutes on low flame. Add all the seasonings and mix well.
