Maria's pick-me-up soup

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 2 onions
• 1 garlic clove(s)
• 1 tbsp butter or oil
• 3 m.-sized apples
• 500 g carrot(s)
• 1 liter vegetable broth
• 1 piece(s) ginger root, walnut-sized
• 2 tbsp, leveled curry powder
• 1 tbsp, leveled flour
• 200 ml cream or condensed milk or milk
• 2 tbsp, heaped chives, finely chopped

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 40 minutes

Peel the apples and cut into small cubes. Prepare the carrots in the same way and set both aside. Peel and dice the onions, then fry them in butter (or oil) in a pan with the finely diced garlic. Add the diced apples and carrots and sauté briefly. Top up with the vegetable stock. Add the grated ginger (if you like it spicier, you can use more ginger) and the curry powder, sprinkle over the flour, and stir briefly with a spoon. Let everything simmer for 20 minutes. After the cooking time, puree everything with an electric blender until smooth. Then add the cream. If you don’t want to use cream, you can also use condensed milk or, for a very low-calorie version, milk. Stir everything well. Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle with fresh, finely chopped chives. Serve with a fresh baguette.
