Tomato Curry Soup with Cumin, Cinnamon & Honey

I stumbled across this soup recipe today on Dinner Tonight as I scanned the what's cooking links on the side of this page.  It sounded perfect for my dinner tonight. The outside temperature dropped quickly today from high 60s to  mid 40s as a cold front moved into the region to push out the rain.  Soup was just what I needed to warm my bones. 

A quick scan of the ingredients revealed that I had all of them on hand in the pantry.  Just the stress free meal I needed for a work night when I am on my own.  (No telling when the youths will eat.)  Thank you Blake for a wonderful suggestion. 

The soup was simple to prepare and had nice curry undertones.  I will definitely make this soup again and play more with the seasonings.  Toasted almond slices or pumkpin seeds would make an interesting garnish. 

I served it alongside a simple egg quesadillas that I will post soon.
