RECIPE:
4 Tbs butter 1 inch fresh ginger, chopped
1 Tbs curry powder 2 potatoes, cut up
4 cloves garlic 1 lb carrots, sliced in chunks
1 large onion, chopped 4 cups chicken stock
salt and freshly ground pepper green onions- for garnish
Melt butter in soup pot and add curry powder, cook for a second or two then add onions and garlic. Cook until onions are softened then add ginger potatoes and carrots. Sweat for about 10 minutes on medium low heat, covered. Add stock and cook for & further 10 to 15 minutes or until the vegetables are soft. Puree, then check seasoning. If you want to add more curry powder heat a little butter in a small pan and add curry powder to taste and cook a few seconds. Stir into soup. If you add without cooking you risk a raw flavour from the powder. It is always best to precook curry powder when using it in any dish. You can serve with a dollop of yoghourt or sour cream and chopped green onions.
