Recipe[edit | edit source]

Take four large onions, cut them up and fry them brown, with a little butter, in a frying-pan, with a carrot cut up into small pieces;

  • Add to this a quart of stock or water, and boil till the vegetables and onions are tender;
  • Then rub the whole through a wire sieve and add a brimming teaspoonful of captain white’s curry paste and a dessertspoonful of curry powder, previously mixed smooth in a little cold water;
  • Thicken the soup with a little brown roux.

Spiciness[edit | edit source]

  • Some people would consider this soup too hot;
  • if so, less curry powder can be used or more water added.

Without curry paste[edit | edit source]

  • If you have no curry paste, cut up a sour apple and add it to the vegetables in the frying-pan.
  • If you have no sour apples, a few green gooseberries are a very good substitute. 

Serve with rice[edit | edit source]

  • Boiled rice should be served on a separate dish with this soup, and should not be boiled in the soup at starting.
