Steps
- 1Begin by peeling, coring, and chopping the apples. In a sturdy pot, melt butter over medium heat until the foam subsides. Add the chopped apples, carrots, onion, raisins, and garlic. Stir occasionally as you cook them until they start to soften, which should take around 10 to 12 minutes. Next, introduce the curry powder into the pot and stir for about a minute. Sprinkle flour over the mixture and continue to cook while stirring for an additional 2 minutes. Pour in the broth and tomato purée before covering the pot with a lid. Allow it to simmer gently for approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes. After that time has elapsed, add cream and season with salt according to your taste preference. Let it simmer uncovered for another 10 minutes before serving your delicious apple curry stew.
- 2After allowing the soup to cool, blend it in batches using a food processor or blender until it reaches a smooth consistency. Next, pass the blended soup through a sieve into a large bowl and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled for about 2 to 3 hours.
