Notes

  • If you are using fresh tomato instead, then take 10-12 large tomatoes (roughly 800 grams - 900 grams). Blanch them and discard the seeds. 
  • Amount of sugar and seasoning depends on how tart the tomatoes are. If they are more tart, increase the amount of sugar to your taste. 
  • Substitute butter with Olive oil and cream with coconut milk or cashew cream for Vegan Tomato Bisque.
