Simple and Delicious Tomato Soup

Try this variation on an old favourite the next time you have a craving for comfort food. This recipe puts a twist on the simplest of soups with a touch of Indian curry.

In a large sauce pan add 2 tablespoons of water then add half of a shopped white onion and 3 roughly chopped garlic cloves until the onion becomes translucent. Add 1 400ml can of whole or diced tomatoes (I use a low sodium variety) and a tablespoon of tomato paste. Stir in 2 tablespoons of Indian curry paste. (I had the luxury of using a delectable curry paste that was created from scratch by my sister-in-law for an Indian feast we shared in on New Year's Eve.) Transfer the tomato mixture to a large food processor or blender and blend until almost smooth. Transfer back to sauce pan and return to stove top. Bring soup to a boil then reduce and simmer for 30 minutes or longer if desired. Top with home made croutons, or a dollop of plain yogurt and Enjoy!
