Spicy Indian Chicken Soup image

Onion, ginger, and garlic -- a classic flavor trio in Indian cuisine -- form the base of this soup, which takes on a pleasing spiciness when finished with cumin, coriander, and chile. A squeeze of orange juice adds a touch of natural sweetness.

The soup was a little too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by adding some yogurt.
