This is a good basic soup that could be easily modified for other flavor profiles. The cumin and coriander gave the soup a lovely flavor, and I purposely added only a small amount of curry so it wouldn't compete. I also used less tomato than called for, and like Zosia, pureed with a stick blender at the end. Even my soup-adverse family enjoyed this one.

Zosia from Toronto, ON

A lightly spiced tomato-based soup that makes use of very basic pantry items.

The recipe calls for a hot curry powder, which I used, but the quantity is small relative to the amount of soup the recipe makes so the flavour was not very bold. Curry is a new flavour to some of the people I was serving the soup to, so I left it as is but this would be easy to adjust to suit personal taste. The addition of cumin and coriander gave the soup a more complex flavour.

I pureed about ¾ of the batch – it had a very nice consistency, thick but still soup-like, with a little texture. The flavour improved on the second day.
