Curried Carrot (or Pumpkin) Soup

I ordered pumpkin soup in a restaurant once and it was absolutely delicious. I suspected that there was Maple Syrup in the recipe. I tried to make it at home & this is the result – delicious.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chopped carrots
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp curry powder
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1/2 cup half and half cream
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions In a large saucepan, saute the onion in the olive oil until translucent. Stir in the curry powder. Add the chopped carrots and stir until the carrots are coated. Add the vegetable broth and simmer until the carrots are soft. If you have a hand-held blender, puree the mixture in the pot. Otherwise, transfer to a blender and puree. Pour the mixture back into the pot. Add the milk, cream and maple syrup and warm up to serving temperature. Be sure not to let this mixture boil once the milk and cream have been added.
