soup of the day

the day is Saturday and we are in the midst of harvest, canning, dehydrating and freezing, so lunch was unexpectedly upon us before we knew it. This soup was fast and absolutely delicious!

creamy curried vegetable soup

4 shallots, chopped
4 large garlic cloves, chopped
3 large carrots, grated
1 pattipan (or other summer squash) grated
2 large ripe tomatoes, chopped
2 cups chicken or veggie broth
1 tsp salt
1 can coconut milk
2 tsps curry paste (to taste)

Saute shallots until soft. Add garlic and saute until soft. Add carrots & saute another couple minutes. Add grated squash and chopped tomatoes with broth & salt. Bring to simmer. Let cook until all the veggies are soft, about 15 - 20 minutes.
Remove from heat and add the coconut milk and curry.
Blend with hand blender until smooth.
