Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon margarine
2 teaspoons curry powder
3 leeks, chopped
3/4 cup potatoes, diced
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and chopped
3 cups vegetable broth
1 recipe (to taste) salt and pepper
1/4 cup plain yogurt

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in curry powder and cook 1 minute. Stir in leeks, potato and apples and cook 5 minutes.
  • Pour in broth and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes.
  • Puree in a blender or food processor, or using an immersion blender. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve with a swirl of yogurt.

Tips:

  • Select the right apples: Use firm and tart apples, such as Granny Smith, Braeburn, or Honeycrisp. These apples hold their shape and provide a nice contrast to the sweet curry flavor. Apples high in pectin content ensure a thicker soup.
  • Don't overcook the apples: Cook the apples just until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked apples will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Use a good quality curry powder: The curry powder is one of the key ingredients in this soup, so make sure to use a good quality one. Look for a curry powder that is fresh and aromatic.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spices: The amount of curry powder and other spices in this recipe can be adjusted to your taste. If you like a milder soup, use less curry powder. If you like a spicier soup, add more curry powder or other spices, such as cayenne pepper or paprika.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: This soup is delicious served with a variety of toppings, such as chopped cilantro, yogurt, or croutons.

Conclusion:

This curried apple and leek soup is a delicious and comforting meal that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a great way to use up leftover apples. The soup is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you have some extra apples, give this recipe a try.
