Ingredients
To make the curry tomato soup:
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided – plus more for drizzling at the end
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and minced
- 1 tablespoon Thai Chili Sauce, like Sriracha or Sambal Oelek
- 4 cloves of garlic, peeled and minced
- 2 boxes, 26.46 oz of Pomi Finely Chopped Tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 slices of gluten-free sandwich bread, crust removed and cut into smaller pieces
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar, or brown sugar
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock, preferably homemade
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh chive, chopped
- 3-4 tablespoons of heavy cream or half and half, optional
To make the cumin roasted shrimp:
- 2 pounds large shrimp, 10-15 per pound, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Combine all spices in a bowl and set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in medium-heat in a large saucepan. Add in the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes or until translucent. Stir in the spices. Stirring constantly cook for a 1-2 minutes. Add in the minced ginger. Cook for 2-3 minutes while stirring constantly.
- Stir in the Thai chili sauce and garlic. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute or so.
- Add in the tomatoes, salt, sandwich bread and bay leaf. Let it come to a boil. Turn down the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes.
- Fish out the bay leaf and discard.
- Working in small batches, puree the soup in a blender. Alternatively, you can use a hand /immersion blender to puree the soup in the pot.
- Stir in the sugar and chicken stock. Bring it to a boil and then let it simmer for 5 minutes or so. Right before serving, stir in the vinegar. Taste for seasoning and add more if necessary.
- While the soup is cooking roast the shrimp. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. Spread the shrimp on a baking sheet. Drizzle it with olive oil and sprinkle it with cumin, salt and pepper.
- Roast in the oven for 5-6 minutes making sure to rotate the shrimp halfway through the roasting process.
- When ready to serve, ladle soup in a bowl. Place 3 pieces of shrimp in the middle of the bowl. Sprinkle it with fresh chives. Drizzle it with a glug of oil and heavy cream, if using.
- Serve immediately with a few slices of crusty bread.
Notes
- If you have a spice grinder, I recommend using whole spices and grinding them all together.
