Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, plus 1 tablespoon chopped stems
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
3 tablespoons tomato paste
3 1/2 pounds plum tomatoes (about 20), cored and roughly chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3/4 teaspoon garam masala
1 8-ounce package naan bread
1 8-ounce package shredded whole-milk mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Heat 4 tablespoons butter in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until browned, about 4 minutes. Add the cilantro stems, 1 tablespoon garlic, the ginger and coriander. Cook, stirring, until the coriander seeds begin to pop, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until brick red, about 30 seconds. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook, stirring, until juicy, about 2 minutes.
  • Add 3 cups water, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper to the pot. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are soft, about 15 minutes. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon garam masala. Working in batches, transfer the mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Combine the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, 1 teaspoon garlic and 1/4 teaspoon garam masala in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave until melted, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Place the naan on a baking sheet; brush with the butter and broil until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with the cheese and continue broiling until melted, 30 more seconds. Fold each piece of naan, then cut each in half.
  • Divide the soup among bowls and top with the cilantro leaves. Serve with the naan.
