Tomato Curry Soup is a favorite of guests at the Castle Marne in Denver, Colorado.  Served at their Victorian lunches and private Candlelight dinners guest love this soup and frequently ask “What is that special ingredient?”.  Try it out for yourself and see if you agree!

Tomato Curry Soup

Serves 6-8

• 1/2 c. chopped onion
• 4 T. butter
• 2 1/2 t. curry powder
• 28 oz. crushed tomatoes (canned or fresh)
• 30 oz. chicken stock
• 1/2 c. sour cream
• Garnish: Fresh parsley, basil, nasturium blossoms(as available)

In a large saucepan, sauté onions in butter until soft.  Add curry powder and cook for another minute to blend the flavors.  Add tomatoes and chicken stock.  Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes.  Add sour cream and let it melt in the soup.  Whisk soup until smooth, or pour into a blender and purée.  Garnish with a little dollop of sour cream and fresh parsley or chopped chives.  At the Castle Marne, we also tuck a fresh sprig of basil beside the bowl and float a fresh nasturtium blossom.
