hello friends my favorite vagetable is potato with red chilli.
Vegetable soup with a difference
Just made vegetable soup tonight.... The usual ingredients - Fried 1 chopped leek in a little butter or oil.... add one large chopped potato ... a couple of carrots....1 stick of celery... 1 1/2 pts stock.... (water with a couple of chicken stock cubes)... parsley (my thing) salt & pepper to taste....
Nothing unusual in the above... I liquidised the lot with the hand blender and then added a tsp of curry powder....
What a difference the curry powder made.....
It lifted an ordinary soup into something better....
I didn't put milk or cream into the soup as I am trying to eat as healthily as possible....
cheers
Hey silken, if you put this in a proper recipe format I will put it on the main site
Easy Vegetable Soup with a Difference
Ingredients:
1 tblsp of either butter or olive oil
1 leek
1 large potato
1 stick of celery
2 large carrots
1 garlic clove (crushed)
1 tblsp parsley (fresh) or 1/2 that amount( if dried)
1 1/2 pts of chicken stock (or water and stock cubes)
1 tsp curry powder (secret ingredient)
seasoning
Method
Roughly chop up all the vegetables, keeping the chopped leek separate...
Heat the oil/butter in a pot and then gently fry the leeks for 3 or 4 minutes. Once they have softened a little, add the rest of the vegetables.
Let everything sizzle for a little while longer - stirring to prevent any burning.
Add the stock, curry powder, bring to the boil and then simmer for 30-40 minutes until everything is cooked and soft. Let the soup cool a little and then liquidise with a hand blender or liquidiser. At this point, taste the soup and then add salt & pepper to your taste.
If the soup is too thick, thin it down with either a little more stock or milk.
If it is too thin, add a little instant potato until you are happy with it.
Serve with crusty bread or a nan.
Enjoy
