Indian tomato soup
Description
Here is a classic recipe for Indian tomato soup. In India, people prefer eating healthy food with minimal ingredients—the essence of Indian cuisine lies in the spices, which true connoisseurs never skimp on. That's why, to make a simple "plain" tomato soup burst with a full spectrum of flavors, I recommend buying spices not from supermarkets, but from Eastern vendors at local markets. Also, take the time to find a good blend of Indian spices—your soup will instantly taste divine. Serve the soup hot.
