[KerrynN]

Name of Recipe: Curried Carrot and Celery soup
Number of People: 4
Ingredients:

• 1 onion, peeled and quartered
• 300g carrots, chopped roughly
• 150g celery, chopped roughly
• 1.5 tbsp curry powder (I used my homemade one, not sure where recipe is from though, can use less if you don't enjoy the lingering curry flavour in your mouth)
• 500ml turkey or chicken stock, or water and 1 tbs stock concentrate

Preparation:
Chop onion, carrot and celery in bowl at speed 5, approx 5 seconds.
Add curry powder, stock (and/or water). If you prefer a thinner soup, top up with extra water to reach approx 1 litre mark in the bowl.
Cook on temp 90 for 12 minutes, speed 1.
Blitz on speed 9 for 1 minute and serve with warm bread rolls.

Tips/Hints:
I made this after having made stock concentrate and although I scraped out as much from the bowl as I could, I didn't clean in between recipes. This may have made the soup even more flavourful and is also why I didn't add any extra seasonings (although I do use much less salt in my stock concentrate as I freeze it so am not so worried about the preservation requirements). Even DS11 loved it (although he did have to accompany with a glass of milk to reduce the curry burn on his lips).

This recipe was inspired by the Carrot and Cumin soup posted by Katya (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=5709.0) which I intended to make, only to realise I had no cumin.
