Semiya/Vermicelli is commonly used for breakfast in various forms like Upma. Here there’s a delicious way to make them heartier. The base of the soup is mainly tomatoes but the addition of the vermicelli, carrot, onion just makes everything click together.

Tomato carrot soup is one of the most simplest and easy soup recipes. The soup has the sweetness of carrots and onion, along with the slight tanginess of tomatoes, garlic in the soup gives a slight sharpness with the earthy flavour of cumin.
