Apple Onion Curry Soup

I was first introduced to homemade curry by my Honorary Aunt Fiona who is originally from England where I'm pretty sure curry is the national dish. A few Thanksgivings ago, Fiona, being the fabulous cook that she is, volunteered to host a full out British style turkey feast complete with Yorkshire Pudding. The next day, instead of the usual turkey soup, she made this apple onion soup. Well, I fell in love with the fact that it was yummy and that it was dead simple. I've made this soup for lots of different people and always received positive feedback. I hope you enjoy it too!

Ingredients:

To make about (4) full bowls of soup

2 or 3 apples, peeled, cored and roughly chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 or 2 heaping teaspoons of curry powder
2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 handful of alpha bits or peppini (optional)
1/2 handful of a flat noodle (rice, fettucine, etc...)
salt
pepper

1. In a medium saucepan, saute the onions and apples with some cooking oil at medium-high heat until things look translucent and juices are being released...about 5 to 7 min.

2. Add the broth and curry powder. Bring to a boil.

3. Puree the soup. I used a hand held blender but a regular blender, or even a potato masher would work too.

4. If you're adding the alpha bits or peppini you might need to add some more broth or water so that they don't end up sticking to the bottom of the pot, but use you're own judgment.

5. Bring the soup to a slow boil and add the alpha bits/peppini/pasta.

6. Add salt, pepper or more curry powder to taste.

Thats how easy it is to make the Onion Soup!
