AN INDIAN TAKE ON THE CLASSIC TOMATO SOUP.
This tomato soup is creamy, dreamy, and spiced to perfection!ย ย
We are crossing from summer to fall and this soup is the perfect transitional recipe. ย 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!
