Slightly Spicy Tomato Soup

I made a chicken curry with turmeric rice and peas last night. I also made a soup that turned out delicious. It was very easy to make and tasted great.

1/2 onion chopped into small dice
large can of tomatoes - preferably organic (can be diced or whole)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1 cinnamon stick (If you don't have this add 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon at the same time as the other spices)
bit of olive oil
1 cup of chicken stock (can add more if you like a thinner soup)
bunch of green onions sliced (I used about 8 green onions)
handful or two of fresh arugula chopped (optional)

Saute the onion and the cinnamon stick (with a bit of olive oil) in a pot until almost translucent
Add the ground spices and stir around for about 5-10 seconds
Add the tomatoes and chicken stock
Let simmer, uncovered, for about 30 minutes to let the flavours combine and the soup to reduce a bit
Add the green onions and fresh arugula at the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, just enough to heat through.

Salt and pepper to taste.

This was delicious!
