The refrigerator light goes on...

This was inspired by a dish I had traveling in England last year. The soup reminded me of tomato soups of my childhood: warm and comforting, but with some body and nice Indian spices. It's perfect served with a side salad for dinner or just a crust of bread at lunch.
