Finely chop onion and tomato. Make a coarse paste of ginger, garlic and red chilli.
1 Onion(small), 2 Tomato (smal), 4-5 Garlic cloves, 1" Ginger Piece, 1-2 Red Chillies(fresh/dry)

Make masala with onion, tomato, ginger garlic and chillies.
Heat oil in a pan and add coarse paste of ginger garlic and chilli. Saute till raw smell of garlic goes away. Do not overcook the paste.
1-2 tsp Oil
Now add finely chopped onions and saute till it starts turning light pink. Add chopped tomatoes and cook till it is soft and mushy.
Cool the masala and puree it. Alternatively you can skip grinding the masala and continue making the soup. But, I like to grind the onion tomato masala.
Now transfer the masala back to pan, add some veg.stock or water and cook for few seconds.
Mix garam masala and salt. Yo can add red chilli powder for more spicy soup, if you are not going to use chilli oil for garnish.
1/2 tsp Garam Masala, Salt to taste
Now,add cut mushrooms and cook for few seconds.
Add Veg. stock or water and let it come to boil.
