- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 tsp peeled, grated fresh gingerroot
- 1 1/2 tsp curry powder
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 3 cups chopped cauliflower (small pieces)
- 1/2 cup peeled, chopped Granny Smith apple
- 2 cups reduced sodium or homemade chicken broth (or vegetable broth or water)
- 1 cup peeled, thinly sliced russet potatoes
- 1 tsp salt 1 cup low fat milk
*I found the blender step to be a wasted one. When the veggies were tender, all I had to do was to take a potato masher and mash the soup mixture slightly (in the pot it was cooked in). Doing it that way I didn't have to cool the soup either.
- Heat oil in large stockpot over med-low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 3 minutes. Lower heat and add the ginger, curry powder and turmeric. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes.
- Add the cauliflower, apple, broth or water and potatoes. Stir and heat to boiling. Cover and cook over low heat until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Add the salt and cool to room temperature. When cool, combine the cauliflower mixture and the milk in a blender* and blend until smooth. Garnish the bowls of soup with fresh diced tomato.
- The longer the soup sits, the thicker it gets, so more milk may need to be added to thin it out slightly.
