CREAMY CARROT WITH CURRY SOUP



Creamy Carrot With Curry Soup image

A pureed vegetable soup can be an impressive, easy and affordable first course for an elegant dinner, or even a light dinner on its own with salad and bread.

Provided by USA WEEKEND columnist Pam Anderson

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Vegetable Soup Recipes     Carrot Soup Recipes

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ pounds peeled carrots, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 large onion, cut into large dice
1 tablespoon butter
1 pinch sugar
3 large garlic cloves, thickly sliced
2 tablespoons curry powder
3 cups chicken broth, homemade or from a carton or can
1 ½ cups half-and-half (or whole milk)
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Garnish: chopped roasted pistachios

Steps:

  • Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep saute pan until shimmering.
  • Add carrots, then onion; saute, stirring very little at first, then more frequently, until vegetables start to turn golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and add butter, sugar and garlic; continue cooking until all vegetables are a rich spotty caramel color, about 10 minutes longer.
  • Add curry powder; continue to saute until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute longer.
  • Add broth; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until carrots are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Using an immersion blender or traditional blender, puree until very smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (If using a traditional blender, vent it either by removing the lid's pop-out center or by lifting one edge of the lid. Drape the blender canister with a kitchen towel. To 'clean' the canister, pour in a little half-and-half, blend briefly, then add to the soup.)
  • Return to pan (or a soup pot); add enough half-and-half so the mixture is souplike, yet thick enough to float garnish. Taste, and add salt and pepper if needed. Heat through, ladle into bowls, garnish and serve.

FAST, CREAMY CHICKEN CURRY



Fast, Creamy Chicken Curry image

A blended curry powder is one of the original convenience foods, a venerable spice rub that can improve the flavor of almost anything. Even a good chicken breast is about as bland as meat can get, but spiced with a little curry, its flavor comes alive. In this dish, season sliced onions and chicken breast with the spice and finish the sauce with sour cream. The process is streamlined so that it takes no more than 25 minutes. Begin cooking white rice, the natural accompaniment, before cutting the onion. (After reading some of the reader comments on the original recipe, we decided to retest it, and we've made some changes and clarifications to the below recipe.)

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, poultry, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons canola, corn or other neutral-flavored oil, plus more as needed
1 medium onion, peeled and sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder, or to taste
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced diagonally ½ -inch thick
1 cup sour cream
Minced cilantro or parsley leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Place oil in a large skillet and turn heat to medium high. A minute later, add onion. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; sprinkle with about half the curry powder and continue to cook for a minute or two.
  • Meanwhile, season both sides of the chicken slices with salt and pepper and sprinkle it with the remaining curry powder. Remove onions to a plate, add a bit more oil to the pan and add the chicken in one layer. Cook about 2 minutes per side over medium heat; remove to a plate.
  • Return onions to the pan and add sour cream. Stir into the onions and cook, stirring constantly over low heat, until the mixture is hot. Return chicken to skillet and cook for 2 minutes, or until cooked through, turning once. Garnish and serve with white rice.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality curry powder. This is the key ingredient in the soup, so make sure you use a brand that you trust. If you can find a curry powder that is specifically made for soup, that's even better.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spices to your liking. If you like a milder curry, use less curry powder. If you like a spicier curry, add more. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, coriander, or garam masala, to taste.
  • Use fresh vegetables. Fresh vegetables will give your soup the best flavor. If you can't find fresh vegetables, you can use frozen vegetables instead.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. This is important to prevent the chicken from becoming dry and tough. You can cook the chicken in a pot on the stovetop or in a slow cooker.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. You can simmer the soup for longer if you want a more intense flavor.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include rice, naan bread, yogurt, and cilantro. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice to taste.

Conclusion:

Creamy chicken curry soup is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a relatively easy soup to make, so it is a great option for busy weeknights. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious bowl of creamy chicken curry soup that the whole family will love.
