National Curry Week took the stage this week, and we thought, what better time to pull a Disney recipe out of the vault that ticks all the boxes? If you’ve been on a Disney Cruise Line ship, you might have tried the Curry, Carrot, and Apple Soup. It’s our weekly Saturday Cooking Sesh (yes, again, I know it’s Sunday; things have been busy!), and we are using this occasion as an excuse to make this delicious Disney soup! Okay, I know it’s a stretch, but I really wanted to try this one and the weather felt just right.
CURRY, CARROT, AND APPLE SOUP from Disney Cruise Line
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS:
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 cup diced carrots (about 4 medium carrots)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and chopped
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 whole carrot
- Coarse salt, freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Plain yogurt, fresh parsley, for garnish
DIRECTIONS:
- Heat 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 curry powder. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Stir in broth and cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until carrots and apples are very soft, about 20 to 25 minutes.
- While soup cooks, preheat oven to 400°F. Peel whole carrot and shave into very thin curls. Roast for 3 to 5 minutes, or until ends are browned and crisp. Remove from oven and set aside.
- Remove soup from heat and purée in a blender, or with a hand-held immersion blender. Season with salt and pepper.
- To serve, top each bowl with a dollop of yogurt, roasted carrot curls, and parsley.
