Colorful Curry Soup



2 onions, chopped
2 tbsp oil
saute
2 carrots chopped 
2-3 cloves garlic
3 bell peppers (yellow, red, green) diced
a few potatoes chopped
add and stir fry a minute or two
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
2 Tbs. curry powder
1 Tbs. Turmeric
add to taste
8 cups of water
2 chicken/vegetable bullion cubes
add and simmer until everything is done.
* At this point, I added some canned chick peas (rinsed)

in a seperate pot;
simmer
a cup of red lentils
2 1/2 cups of water
(optional, blend lentils) 
add to soup.

you can add some cornstarch to thicken the soup, if you'd like. 

just before serving add to the pot:
1 can coconut milk
1 cup sour cream or cream fraiche 

Set out (next to where you'll be serving the soup)
a small bowl of broken/chopped cashews
chopped dried apricots
fresh cilantro 
ginger syrup

This recipe is from Riana, one of the lovely ladies who cooked delicious meals at L'abri

This is my new favorite soup and several others said the same! It's a MUST TRY for all!
