A bisque as rich in spice as in creaminess! Another easy-pleasing soup for a dark winter evening.
I made a half recipe, that is about ten cups of soup. Plenty for us.
Saute in two tablespoons of oil: two tart apples, one carrot, one onion, one sweet bell pepper, & two stalks of celery. For ten minutes.
Then add: around two cups of broth, one chopped potato, one half cup of raisins.
Spice it up with curry (I used garam masala) , cardamom, & thyme.
Simmer twelve to fifteen minutes. Then allow to cool before blending with food processor.
About ten minutes before ready to serve. Add one cup milk, two cups broth, and some tomato sauce. Reheat over medium heat until hot, but don't boil.
I garnished with cilantro.
It was one of those nights where even the liveliness of the soup couldn't break us from our winter-drowsiness. Before we knew it, we'd spent the evening on the couch with both of our cats vying for attention.

This sounds very intriguing. I hope to make it soon. I might have to give some to our cats to get them to vie for our attention.
