Here's another chilled soup from *The Carnival Experience* cookbook by Peter Leypold (Exec Chef of Carnival Cruise Lines) that I did not try, but it is both unusual & intriguing. Although we don't really have any of them here in Iceland, doesn't this look like it would be perfect on a hot summer evening? (Times were not given, have been estimated & the chill time is not included as it may vary according to your needs) *Enjoy* ! Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1/4 cup onion (chopped) |
1/4 cup celery (chopped) |
1/4 teaspoon garlic (minced) |
3 apples (peeled, cored and diced) |
1 teaspoon curry powder |
1/4 teaspoon turmeric |
8 cups chicken stock |
1 teaspoon cilantro (chopped) |
1/4 cup whipping cream |
3/4 cup apple (chopped just prior to serving) |
Directions:
1. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan. Add onion, celery and garlic; cook till softened. Add diced apples and cook till fork tender.
2. Stir in curry powder and turmeric. Add chicken stock and bring mixture a boil.
3. Reduce heat to low and simmer till mixture is reduced by half. Remove from heat, stir in cilantro and allow mixture to cool.
4. Puree in blender or food processor and strain mixture. Stir in cream, season with salt & pepper to taste. Chill several hours.
5. When ready to serve, stir well and divide among 6 soup bowls. Garnish with 2 tbsp apple pieces chopped just ahead of service so they are fresh; serve immediately.
