I made that soup last week and it was a smashing success.
Something hubby can eat actually despite his colonoscopy this week, thursday. We bought curry today so we can use it like in the original recipe unlike last week when we had no curry.
For the soup, I used an apple and a half brought by my neighbour from her yard and tree. This is Grace, my japanese neighbour of a certain age who lives alone. Eve gave me two tomatoes and Lauri asked me to try her carrots in her garden whenever I felt like it (I did once).
UPDATE
The soup was excellent and I did not taste the curry at all (quarter teaspoon) but BJG said it was a tad spicier than the last batch. We have much soup and I froze half the leftovers. We have paella frozen too and tofu. We may eat tofu tomorrow.
Hubby cannot have grains this week due to an intervention.
