Whole cumin, coriander, and mustard seeds lend authentic Indian flavor. If you prefer not to eat them, leave them in the bottom of the pot when serving.

I found this soup to be a bit too thick. I would have preferred it to be a bit thinner.

I made this soup with a few modifications. I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and I added a tablespoon of curry powder. It turned out great!
