Quick.

Easy.

These were the two things I was going for when I put my girls down for their afternoon naps yesterday.

I had been planning to make this curried tomato soup for a while so I quickly pulled out my ingredients and got to work. Sure enough, no more than ten minutes later, I heard Maddie’s footsteps coming down the stairs. I honestly think she smelled the onions cooking with the curry, cumin and coriander and couldn’t resist wanting to play her favorite game of “Recipe Man.” So, I put my little Recipe Man to work picking out an oregano sprig for our soup. She insists it was the perfect one!

This recipe is a twist on the classic tomato soup. Fragrant Eastern spices and a dollop of cream from the top of a coconut milk can make it unique and savory.

I found this recipe from one of my favorite blogs, 101 Cookbooks. Author Heidi suggests pouring this soup over brown rice with a squeeze of lemon. That sounds delicious for an afternoon when I have good nappers.
