In a medium saucepan, combine the tomato paste and crushed tomatoes. Stir well to ensure the tomato paste is fully incorporated with the crushed tomatoes.
Add the apple cider vinegar, honey, and olive oil to the tomato mixture. Stir until the honey is dissolved.
Mix in the curry powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir well to blend the spices into the tomato mixture.
Pour in the water and low-sodium soy sauce, stirring to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and allow it to cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking, until the mixture thickens to a ketchup-like consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, perhaps adding more curry powder or honey according to your preference.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the ketchup cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, transfer the ketchup to a clean glass jar or airtight container and refrigerate. It can be stored this way for up to two weeks.
Stir before serving as a dipping sauce or condiment for various dishes.
