So I made a soup the other day...a purée of sweet potatoes, onions, carrots and garlic. It was ok so I spiced it up with some curry seasoning and man it was almost like curry without the chunks of potatoes, carrots and onions. I thought with a little tinkering this could be a perfect curry base without having to add flour to thicken.

 

In the pot goes:

1 sweet potato sans skin cut into 1" slices

2 large carrots chopped into small pieces

1 apple chopped

1 med onion chopped

1 cup dry lentils

Enough water to cover and bring to boil. While waiting to boil add:

1 tbsp coconut oil

1 tbsp earth balance

1 tbsp minced ginger

4-5 cloves garlic

1 bay leaf

1.5 tsp salt

2 -3 tsp garam masala

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp coriander

1/2 tsp turmeric

1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds optional

 

 

Reduce heat and cover. Simmer 40 min or so

While you wait cube 4 med potatoes, 3-4 carrots, and chop one med onion.

 

When the 40 min is up puree the contents of the pot and return to the pot. I poured some off to save for another meal after adding some cayenne pepper to taste. I was pretty stoked at this point. Add water to desired consistency. Toss in the cut potatoes and carrots. Cook the onions in a cast iron skillet no oil is necessary and add them to the pot once they are translucent. Oh yeah bring the puree to a simmer and stir ocassionally until the carrots are soft.

 

Enjoy over brown or white rice. You can also add some cubes of extra firm tofu to increase the protein.
