Tomato Soup

We used to live in NY, before we moved to NJ. I used to work in Manhattan and since I am a hardcore vegetarian I used to pack my lunch everyday. One day I was not well and it was winter, very cold and snowy day, and I could not eat my lunch, as I was not well. My colleague insisted and took me to a soup place and got me a sweet corn soup. It soothed my soar throat but I did not like it much. I always like tomato based soup. My mom now a days cannot cook as much as she used to do before so there is a cook in my mom's place, and she is a awesome cook and she makes tomato soup which sort of reminds you of Thai soup. So I would love to share the recipe with you today and here it goes.

Ingredients:
5 medium size very ripe tomatoes
1/2 cup coconut powder
3-4 pods of garlic
