Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 1/2 pounds packaged baby carrots, from produce section
6 cups chicken stock, available on soup aisle
1 tablespoon mild curry paste or 1 1/2 tablespoons curry powder
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
Coarse salt
1 cup sour cream
Plastic condiment bottle or medium plastic food storage bag
6 blades fresh chives, cut into 1-inch pieces

Directions

Preheat medium pot over medium high heat. Add olive oil, butter, onions and carrots and saute 5 minutes. Add 4 cups chicken stock, curry and cayenne, and about 1 teaspoon salt to the pot. Bring to a boil, cover and cook until carrots are very tender, about 15 minutes. Place pot on a trivet next to food processor. Process soup in 2 or 3 small batches until soup is smooth and carrots are fully pureed. Transfer processed soup into a large bowl as you work to make room for more soup in the food processor. Return completed soup to the soup pot and place back over low heat. If the soup is too thick, add remaining stock, up to 2 cups, to achieve desired consistency. Adjust seasonings. Place sour cream in a plastic condiment squeeze bottle or into a medium food storage bag. Cut a very small hole in the corner of the bag with scissors. Ladle soup into bowls and squirt a swirl of sour cream around the bowl from the center out to the rim. Drag a toothpick from the center of the bowls out to the edges, forming a spider web design on soup. Pile a few pieces of cut chives at the center of each bowl to resemble green spiders in their webs! Cool!

Worth Trying
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I didn't have sour cream so did a little drizzle of heavy cream, and that was a good substitute. It doesn't make as much as... most soup recipes make, but you don't need a lot to feel satisfied. I used 1 T of curry and 1/4 t of cayenne, and I felt it on the back of my throat very nicely, even with the cream. I didn't feel it was missing celery or garlic, so trust the recipe - at least the first time you make it!Read more

Great soup with a twist
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I pretty much followed the recipe with the following exceptions; I used regular carrots and cooked a bit longer, used S&B... Golden Curry sauce mix 1 1/2 cubes Medium/Hot added two cloves of garlic added Thai chilies instead of cayenne and this is very important, I used a blender instead of a food processor. (Much better consistency) After I reheated the soup I added raisins and unsweetened shredded coconut to the bottom of the bowl before spooning in soup and let steep for about five minutes before serving. I tried with and without coconut and raisins and prefer the addition of both. If I would have had fresh mango I would have added some as well. Don't forget the sour cream. Let me know what you think.Read more
