Chole-Inspired Chick Pea Stew

During Christmas break, my sister introduced me to an Indian dish called Chole. It's a tomato and chick pea stew with some great flavors! As I was walking through Trader Joe's last week, trying to decide what kind of soup to make, I saw this Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato soup. A perfect base! It was not until I'd already added all the veggies and chick peas that I thought to add the curry powder. Without knowing it, I made a soup that tasted just like Chole!
