Vegan Tomato Soup, Indian Style

Indian tomato soups aren’t as tart as those I find in the U.S. or the more frequent bisque-style ones. I reckon there is a higher inkling for sour than tart for Indian taste buds. This soup hits just that note with pepper, a little of garlic and bay leaf. It’s non-fussy to make, and with homemade ghee-roasted croutons (see recipe), it’s super comforting.
