Curried Carrot Soup

By Kafka, Barbara

If you like a bit of heat, use hot Madras curry powder in this recipe. Serve as a light lunch or as an appetizer before supper.

Servings: 6 servings, 1 1/3 cups each
Total Time: 1 hour
Ease of Preparation: Easy
Cuisine: Indian
Health: Healthy Weight

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons canola oil
2 teaspoons curry powder
8 each medium carrots , peeled and thinly sliced
4 each medium stalks celery , thinly sliced
1 each medium onion , coarsely chopped
5 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

1: Cook oil and curry powder in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in carrots, celery and onion; toss to coat in oil. Cook, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes. Stir in broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the vegetables are very tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat; let stand 10 minutes. Lay a paper towel over the surface of the soup to blot away the oil that has risen to the top. Discard the paper towel.

2: Working in batches of no more than 2 cups at a time, transfer the soup to a blender and puree (use caution when pureeing hot liquids). Return the pureed soup to the pan, place over medium heat and heat through. Season with lemon juice, salt and pepper.
