This recipe was delicious, especially the eggplant. I used heirloom tomatoes which I think changed the texture to be a bit more chunky. I will be making this again soon.
I thought this soup was great! I used broth instead of water...had a great indian flavor.
WHAT IS THIS...SOUP WITHOUT ONIONS? SOMERSIZERS OMIT THE CARROTS, AND PUT IN SOME ONIONS FOR FLAVOR WITHOUT THE SUGAR (CARROTS HAVE WAY TO MUCH SUGAR IN THEM) EVERYTHING ELSE SOUNDS GREAT.
