Curried Apple Soup Recipes

CURRIED APPLE SOUP

Steps:

• The Stock:.
• Combine peels and cores from the apples and the cleaned onion and garlic skins with cinnamons sticks, apple juice, and water. Simmer partially covered for 45 minutes. Remove from heat, let stand one hour. Strain and discard solids.
• The Soup:.
• Mis together the flour and spices.
• Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add butter, ginger, garlic, and a dash of salt. Stir and cook for a minute or so, then add the onions. Saute another 5 minutes then add 1 teaspoons of salt and the apples, stirring well. Add lemon juice and sprinkle on the spice mixture, stirring constantly. Cover and cook 8-10 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat and let rest 10 minutes while you heat the stock.
• Puree the stock and apple mixture in a food processor or blender until very smooth. Transfer to a stock pot or heavy saucepan and whisk in the yogurt or sour cream. Do not cook the soup further or the sour cream/yogurt may separate. If this should happen, just put it back in the blender. It will not be very pretty, but will still taste good. For serving cold, chill until serving time.
• For serving hot, reheat gently over very low heat just before serving. I usually use the microwave for this.
• Served topped with toasted almond slivers.
• **Note: 1/2 TBS. mild curry powder or garam masala may be substituted for the mixed spices if desired.

CURRIED PARSNIP & APPLE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add parsnips and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 45 seconds. Add broth, water, potato, apple, curry powder, coriander, cumin and ginger; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the vegetables are tender when mashed against the side of the pot with a wooden spoon, about 20 minutes.
• Puree the soup in the pot with an immersion blender until smooth. (Alternatively, blend the soup in batches in a blender with the lid slightly ajar. Use caution when blending hot liquids. Return the soup to the pot.) Add lemon juice, salt and pepper. Serve with dollops of yogurt swirled on top, garnished with pinches of coriander.

Remove from heat, and let cool slightly.
• Use an immersion blender, or transfer mixture to the jar of a blender, working in batches if necessary so as not to fill more than halfway; puree just until smooth (do not overprocess). Return soup to pan; stir in cream, and season with salt and pepper. Place over medium heat until soup is just heated through; do not let it boil. Divide soup among serving bowls, and garnish with sour cream.
