[rec.food.recipes] REQUEST: Rasham - Hot Indian Pepper Soup

Last night we went out for Indian food, and our dinner started with a
soup that was called, I believe, "Rasham", and the description was "a
hot Indian pepper soup".  It was delicious!  The pepper it referred to
was, it seemed, black pepper, and/or perhaps cayenne (i.e. not green
peppers).  It was highly spiced, an the consistency of broth.  It had a
few vegetables in it but, again, it was mostly broth.

I can't find it in any of my cookbooks..does anyone have the recipe, or
know of another name I might try looking under?
