Now...soup's on!
This is a very simple soup that has just a hint of curry and mint to give it interest and range of flavor. It does require a hardy crisp apple for the best bite and chilling the apple before cutting makes it easier to scoop out and maintain it's shape.
To prepare the apples, have fresh lemon juice handy to rub over and inside the apples so the flesh doesn't turn brown as it oxidizes.
Slice the wide top end from each apple, about 1/4 way down. Using a paring knife, carefully score around the inside of the apple, leaving about a 1/4 inch rim.


Apple Curry Mint Soup
(serves 6)
4-6 cups of peeled & cored apple parts
2 Tbls. olive oil
1 small onion, diced
1/4 tsp. curry powder
juice of 1 lemon
2-3 sprigs of fresh mint + more for garnish
2 1/4 cups vegetable stock
salt/pepper to taste
In a sauce pan, heat the olive oil on medium and saute onion, apple, curry, salt and pepper until the apple is soft. Add the stock and mint leaves - simmer low for 40 minutes. Cool, then add lemon juice and puree for a thick, rich soup. Chill well. Pour to serve. Garnish with creme fraiche and mint sprigs.
**For a thinner soup, just add more stock to the simmer.
** For more of a dessert soup, leave out the curry and add a tsp. of brown sugar instead.
Enjoy, but don't leave this apple on the teacher's desk - it might spill.
