Samosa Soup

Description

This soup was the product of an insatiable craving for samosas and no Indian restaurant nearby. Making Indian appetizers is way too much work and the overpowering stench of a deep fryer is enough to permeate your home for days. So, I created this soup which tastes just like a samosa - and it's low fat too! This was quick and easy to prepare and quite good. It tasted very similar to a nice spicy samosa and was complemented nicely by storebought nan bread.
