CURRIED APPLE SOUP

Recipe By :

Categories : Soups Spicy

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
2 lg Cooking Apples
Lemon Juice
2 ts Curry Powder
3 tb Butter Or Vegetable Oil
5 c Chicken Stock
1 t Salt
2/3 c Apple Juice
1 1/4 c Whipping Cream
Ground Ginger

Servings: 6 Cooking Time: 30 Minutes

Peel and core the apples, keeping a few curls of peel
for a garnish.

Mince this peel and keep it in water with a little
lemon juice until needed. Fry the curry powder in the
butter until dark brown. Stir in about a quarter of
the stock and cook until the mixture is smooth. Add
the rest of the stock and the salt. Mince the apples
and drop immediately into the stock in order that they
do not discolor in the air. Cover and allow to
simmer, gently, for 20 minutes or until the apples are
soft. Add the apple juice and blend well. Chill the
soup for several hours, or until needed. Add the
chilled cream just before serving. Sprinkle a little
ginger on top when you serve and garnish with the
minced apple peel, if desired.
