Curried Soup
This was easy to make and the fragrance was wonderful. It tastes very good too. I used the apples that I had on hand. One granny smith and a gala apple. It was fine. I also added more curry powder. Very nice soup.
Could this soup be made
Could this soup be made without the apples?
Warm Soup for fall
