Maya Kaimal, whose food company has put easy Indian fare on many tables with its sauces, condiments, marinades and prepared legumes, has now added a collection of heat-and-serve Indian-inspired soups. The choices, all vegan with a modest kick, are richly spiced lentil, creamy spiced butternut, chickpea and kale with a hint of coconut, and, my favorite, lusty and thick tomato with warm spices. They are sold in shelf-stable packages with two servings, but any of them can easily be stretched with the addition of more coconut milk. The tomato, which will be available soon, could double as a sauce for seafood or chicken.
