• Quantities here are VERY flexible depending on the size of your pot and the number of portions. I have never been very good at making a half pot of anything! The basic ingredients however are as follows.
• Oil
• chopped onion
• chopped celery
• chopped carrot
• curry powder (i have recently discovered schwartz crushed medium madras powder )
• Chopped apple
• chopped tomatoes
• brown basmati rice if possible but white will work
• a small amount of red lentils
• chicken stock

Heat the oil in your soup pot. Sweat the onion celery and carrot for a few minutes then add the curry powder. Stir around for a few minutes then add all the other ingredients. Simmer for half an hour then check for salt and pepper. Thats it basically although I have been known to add chopped coriander if available.
