Preparation
Chop and Prepare Vegetables
Chop the ripe tomatoes, onion, carrot, and bell pepper into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

Chop the fresh basil and set aside.
Cooking
Add Garlic and Spices
Stir in the minced garlic, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add Tomatoes and Broth
Add the chopped tomatoes and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Blend and Add Herbs
After simmering, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunky texture, blend only half of the soup. Stir in the chopped fresh basil after blending.
Serve
