Now roughly chop the tomatoes and grind them to a fine puree.

Set a deep pan vessel on medium heat, add olive oil and garlic, sauté for few seconds and add the tomato puree by passing it through a sieve or a strainer.

Add salt & pepper, oregano and chilli flakes, mix well and cook for a minute, add sugar further cook it for 5-6 minutes.

Add cornstarch and water mixture to the soup and cook until it thickens.

Add fresh cream and stir well.

Your hot tomato soup is ready, serve hot along with some croutons on side.
