Steps:
- For mustard-onion salsa:
- Combine first 5 ingredients in heavy medium saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until onions begin to soften, stirring frequently, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until onions are very soft, stirring occasionally, about 40 minutes. Add lemon juice and lemon peel; cook uncovered until most liquid is evaporated, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm before serving.
- For curry oil:
- Cook oil and curry powder in heavy small skillet over medium-high heat until curry powder darkens slightly, about 1 minute. Transfer to small pitcher. Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour before serving.
- For minted yogurt:
- Mix yogurt, green onions, and chopped mint in medium bowl. Cover and chill. Can be made 6 hours ahead. Keep chilled.
- For soup:
- Heat oil in heavy large pot over high heat. Add next 5 ingredients. Cook until onion and cauliflower begin to brown, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes; stir 2 minutes. Add turmeric and stir 1 minute. Add broth and bay leaves. Bring to boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Add spinach and stir until wilted, about 1 minute. Add tofu; heat until warmed through, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Discard bay leaves.
- Divide soup among 6 bowls; sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve salsa, curry oil, and minted yogurt alongside.
- *Nigella seeds are pungent and peppery, from a flowering plant of the same name. Also called kalonji or black onion seeds. Available at indianfoodsco.com.
Tips:
- Select the right potatoes: Choose starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for a creamy texture. Avoid waxy potatoes like Red Bliss or New Potatoes, as they will not break down as well in the soup.
- Use good quality stock: Homemade chicken or vegetable stock is ideal, but store-bought low-sodium broth can also be used. Avoid using water, as it will result in a bland soup.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: When cooking the leeks and potatoes, make sure not to overcrowd the pot. If necessary, cook them in batches to ensure they brown properly.
- Season to taste: Taste the soup throughout the cooking process and adjust the seasonings accordingly. Add more salt, pepper, or curry powder as desired.
- Puree the soup until smooth: For a velvety smooth soup, use an immersion blender or transfer the soup in batches to a blender and puree until smooth. Be careful not to over-blend, as this can make the soup gluey.
- Garnish before serving: Before serving, garnish the soup with fresh chopped parsley, cilantro, or chives for a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Curried potato and leek soup with spinach is a comforting and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture, rich curry flavor, and tender vegetables, this soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
