Curried Onion Soup Recipes

CURRIED ONION SOUP

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large soup pot over a medium high heat.
• Add onions and sugar.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions turn a deep brown (but not burned), about 20-25 minutes.
• Add curry paste and stir until dissolved into onions.
• Add 1 can beef broth.
• Mix until any browned bits on pot bottom are released.
• Add remaining can of beef broth, consomme, sherry and browning sauce.
• Stir and bring just to a boil.
• Pour into crock-pot.
• Cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours.
• Alternatively, soup can be simmered on stove for 1-2 hours.
• Serve soup as is, or topped with bread rounds.
• Top bread with a generous portion of cheese.
• For a dramatic effect, serve soup in individual ovenproof bowls and broil 2-3 minutes, or until cheese melts.
• Watch carefully so cheese does not burn.

CURRIED ONION SOUP

Steps:

• Working in two batches, put onions in a food processor. Pulse until chopped medium fine. Set aside.
• Put butter in a 5-quart casserole with a tight-fitting lid. Cook, uncovered, at 100 percent power in a high-power microwave oven for 2 minutes.
• Stir in onions and curry powder until well coated with butter. Cover and cook for 30 minutes, stirring once.
• Remove from oven and uncover. Working in two batches, scrape mixture into a blender. Process until very smooth, stopping from time to time to scrape down sides of container.
• Scrape mixture back into casserole. Stir in broth. Cover and cook for 6 minutes, to heat through. Remove from oven and whisk in lime juice and salt.

CURRIED CARROT SOUP

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Saute onion until tender and translucent. Stir in the curry powder. Add the chopped carrots, and stir until the carrots are coated. Pour in the vegetable broth, and simmer until the carrots are soft, about 20 minutes.
• Transfer the carrots and broth to a blender, and puree until smooth. Pour back into the pot, and thin with water to your preferred consistency.
