AN INDIAN TAKE ON THE CLASSIC TOMATO SOUP.
This tomato soup is creamy, dreamy, and spiced to perfection!
We are crossing from summer to fall and this soup is the perfect transitional recipe. Fresh ripe tomatoes, cooked, spiced, and blended to creamy perfection.
To make this a complete meal and to really give it that chicken tikka masala vibe, you can add some shredded chicken to the soup and I love my low-carb flatbread or Ri's Glute-Free Kulcha for dipping!
