By MJH

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 1 cup diced carrots (about 4 medium carrots) plus 1 whole carrot, divided
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and chopped
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• Coarse salt, to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Plain yogurt, fresh parsley, for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oil in a large, heavy bottomed pot over medium heat.

Add curry powder and cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes.

Add diced carrots, onions and apple, and stir until coated with the curry powder.

Sauté for 5 minutes.

Add broth, stirring to combine.

Cover the pot.

Simmer, stirring occasionally, until carrots and apples are very soft, about 20 to 25 minutes.

Puree in a blender, or with a hand-held blender.

Taste, and add salt and pepper, if desired.

While soup is cooking, preheat oven to 400°F.

Peel remaining whole carrot and cut into very thin curls.

Roast for 3 to 5 minutes, or until ends are browned and crisp.

Top each bowl of soup with yogurt, roasted carrot curls and fresh parsley.

Serve warm.
