Curried Apple Soup

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 shallots, minced
2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
1 1/2 tablespoons curry powder
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 small russet potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon coarse salt, plus more for seasoning
3 3/4 cups homemade or low-sodium canned chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy cream or milk
Freshly ground pepper
Sour cream, for garnish

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots; cook until soft and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the ginger and curry powder; cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the apples, potato, salt, and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, and cook until the potato is tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat, and let cool slightly.

    Step 2

    Use an immersion blender, or transfer mixture to the jar of a blender, working in batches if necessary so as not to fill more than halfway; puree just until smooth (do not overprocess). Return the soup to the pan; stir in the cream, and season with salt and pepper. Place over medium heat until just heated through; do not let the soup boil. Divide among serving bowls, and garnish with sour cream.
