It’s soup week! Normally there is one recipe per week on the blog, but for this great soup we would post more than once recipes. This may be the last soup recipe on the blog for a while because it’s been very very wintery and it’s time for warmer weather.

Curried tomato soup

There will surely be a few more cold days before winter finally ends, giving us an excuse to eat this delicious soup. You probably have most, if not all, of the ingredients in your pantry and can whip them up in no time. It’s an easy recipe to make, super flavorful, and freezes well if you want to make a double or triple batch. Hope your weekend is full of sunshine and good food. Be well!
