Roasted, Curried and Chilled Vegetable Soup

A few weeks ago a Spice Rani reached out about how to use her spice kit during the summer months. It is a common misconception that Indian food and delicious flavor are reserved exclusively for hot meals. She requested something that was fun and easy to make but still light and refreshing. We ultimately recommended a modern classic. Today we are sharing a roasted, curried and chilled vegetable soup. If you are drooling tell your taste buds to get hyped because the recipe is below.

Time: 1 hour plus time for chilling
