Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 cup of chopped yellow onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until they become soft and translucent. Stir in 2 teaspoons of curry powder and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  2. Incorporate 2 cups of chopped carrots and 2 cups of sweet potatoes into the pot. Pour in 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth, stirring well. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes.
  3. Cover and continue to simmer for another 25 minutes, ensuring the soup is gently bubbling but not boiling over.
  4. Add 1 cup of chopped tart apples and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  5. Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Ladle the warm soup into bowls, garnishing with additional curry powder or honey if desired. Serve hot.
