Tomato soup with curry and paprika
6 servings
40 minutes
Tomato soup with curry and paprika is an exquisite blend of European cuisine with spicy Eastern notes. This bright, rich soup warms the soul and provides comfort. Curry adds an exotic depth of flavor, while paprika contributes a mild smoky spiciness. The light sweetness of tomatoes is perfectly balanced by the aroma of thyme and garlic. The broth gives the soup a silky texture, and fresh parsley completes the harmony of flavors. It can be served hot or chilled, making it a versatile dish for any season. This soup works well as a standalone dish or as an appetizing appetizer to the main dinner.
