1 medium Yukon gold potato
1 medium bulb fennel, fronds reserved
1 medium turnip
5 Jerusalem artichokes
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, more for drizzling

Add the onion and cook until softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the carrot, and cook for 5 minutes, and then add the remaining vegetables at 5 minute intervals, adjusting the heat as necessary so the vegetables don't brown. When all the vegetables are soft, add the chicken stock. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the soup has come together; it should have a thick consistency. Garnish each bowl with the chile powder and more olive oil.

CREAMY CURRIED ROOT VEGETABLE SOUP



Creamy Curried Root Vegetable Soup image

This is a hearty, thick soup with a little bit of heat from the curry. I've used this combination of vegetables a few times with great success, but using earthy tubers, taproots, and alliums is the key, so try different things. For this recipe, you'll need a large skillet or wok, a medium saucepan, and a food processor or blender. I enjoy spicy foods, so you may want to reduce pepper and curry amounts. I used half milk and half cream once and got a very nice creamy soup, but some may prefer the thinner consistency of using only milk. This recipe can be adjusted for vegan palettes by using an olive oil substitute for the butter, coconut or soy milk, and an anchovy-free Worcestershire sauce. Balsamic vinegar can do in a pinch.

2 tablespoons butter
6 Hakurei turnips, chopped
6 red radishes, chopped
2 heads garlic, chopped
6 green onions, chopped
5 carrots, peeled and chopped
1 ½ pounds red potatoes, cut into cubes
1 quart vegetable stock
1 bay leaf
1 ½ cups milk
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons curry powder

  • Use a flavorful broth: A good quality broth will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
  • Serve the soup with a garnish: A sprinkle of chopped parsley, chives, or dill will add a fresh, flavorful touch to the soup.
