Quite nice. I used a hot curry and it was great. -
Interesting twist on a classic soup. Loved all the flavors. When I made it the second time, I decided to experiment a bit & used beef broth. Also, I added about a tsp of cumin and a couple of squeezes of cilantro from the tube (usually found in the produce section next to the refrigerated salad dressings). Try this soup--you'll put it into your rotation for sure!! -
I really enjoyed this soup. However, I made a few adjustments. I used garlic infused olive oil and added 2 more cloves (I LOVE garlic). Also I added a cup or so of carrots, quartered and diced, and 4 medium sized red skin potatoes. And I added an extra half cup of lentils. I substituted chicken stock with veg. broth so it was vegan. This soup was a delight and the curry made it really delicious. However, I wish I didnt put in the parsley.

Love this! Forgot to rate after I made, just got leftovers out of freezer.....WONDERFUL! -
Super flavor! The 2 tbsp of curry powder was the perfect amount without being overpowering. The fresh parsley gives a nice fresh flavor, too. I made this as written, but added the tomatoes at the end with the chopped parsley. Thanx for posting; I'll make this again.

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all.
Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol
For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
