Vegan Pittige Kerriesoep
A beautifully balanced soup where warm, aromatic curry meets the gentle sweetness of fresh apple and tender vegetables — blended into a smooth, golden, velvety broth that is rich, comforting, and wonderfully warming. Mildly spiced with a gentle heat that builds softly, complemented by fresh tart apple chunks and bright herbs scattered on top. Creamy texture without any dairy, fully plant-based, and deeply satisfying. Perfect as a light meal or elegant starter — every spoonful delivers a harmonious blend of savoury spice, natural sweetness, and subtle warmth.

👩🍳 Instructions
- 1
Sauté aromatics: Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook 5 minutes until soft and translucent. Stir in garlic, ginger, curry powder, turmeric, cumin and chilli powder. Cook gently 1 minute until fragrant to release the spice oils.

Simmer the base: Add carrot, potato and most of the diced apple. Pour in vegetable stock and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes until all vegetables are completely tender.

Blend and finish: Remove from heat. Stir in soy cream or coconut cream. Use an immersion blender to puree until perfectly smooth and velvety. Return to low heat. Add lemon juice, sugar if needed, salt and pepper. Taste and adjust spice, sweetness or acidity to achieve a balanced flavour — warm, savoury, with a hint of sweetness.
