Spice up your autumn with warming curry soup recipes
There's no better way to warm up quickly than with a bowl of hot soup. On autumn and winter days, it's invaluable when you come home with a rumbling stomach. Instead of the classic chicken broth, try a completely different, somewhat exotic flavor.

Preparing a pot of soup solves two problems: it can be reheated quickly and warms you so much that it's easy to forget about the chill outside. While Polish cuisine offers a truly extensive range of soups, it's worth exploring recipes from other parts of the world. Among the fall favorites, curry soup will quickly become a popular choice, delighting with its aroma and making you feel warmth spread from the very first spoonful.
Warming curry soup
This soup is a true delight for the taste buds. As it's prepared, the whole house fills with the aroma of intense spices. The broth shouldn't lack not only the curry mix itself but also onions, garlic, and ginger. This trio works great even if you're starting to come down with an autumn cold.
Curry soup is made using leftover chicken broth. It's a great idea to transform it into something other than tomato soup.
Ingredients:
- About 6 cups of chicken broth
- 5 onions
- 2 heads of garlic
- A 2-3 inch piece of ginger
- 3 carrots
- A few allspice berries
- 4-5 bay leaves
- 1 package of curry seasoning or 1 tablespoon of curry paste
- Fresh cilantro
Preparation:
- Prepare the onions: Peel and cut them in half. Then place them at the bottom of a dry pot and char well over the heat.
- When they brown, add a bit of oil and turn them over.
- Add the halved heads of garlic to the charred onions. Fry everything together until the onions are brown and the garlic is soft.
- Scrape all the burnt bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.
- Pour the chicken broth over everything and add the peeled and sliced carrots.
- Add the allspice and bay leaves. Cook on low heat until the carrots are soft.
- Once the carrots are ready, add the curry and cook for a few more minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the finished soup sprinkled with chopped parsley or cilantro. You can also cook shrimp in the soup, or in a vegan version (if the broth was vegetable-based), add tofu. If the flavor is too intense, you can add some coconut milk. Enjoy!
