With winter upon us, why not brighten your day with a Disney soup recipe from the Disney recipe vault? Here are three recipes that will bring some Disney magic to your house.
Curry, Carrot, and Apple Soup
The first soup from the Disney Recipe Vault is the Curry, Carrot, and Apple Soup from Disney Cruise Line. Apples and carrots add just the right amount of sweetness to the curry powder. To enjoy a plant-based version of this recipe, top the soup with your favorite plant-based yogurt alternative.
INGREDIENTS — Serves 4
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
HOW TO
- 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.
