Curried potato chowder

 

1 clove garlic, minced

2 large onions, about 1lb, thinly sliced

1/8 teaspoon sugar

3 cups beef stock

2 large russet potatoes, about 2lbs peeled, diced.

¼ cup dry, white wine

1 cup plain non-fat yoghurt

1 tablespoon dry, English mustard

Curry powder according to taste.

Thin cucumber slices and grated lemon zest for garnish

Olive oil cooking spray.

 

Method:  

 

Into a large, non-stick, lightly sprayed with cooking oil, covered skillet, cook the garlic and onions on low heat until onions wilt. Usually about 15 minutes.  Stir frequently.  Uncover and stir in sugar and continue with the cooking, stir often until onions brown.  During this time, in a large pot, bring stock to the boil.  Add potatoes and reduce heat and let them simmer. Cook until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, usually around 15 minutes.   Add onions.   Add wine to the skillet; stir to loosen brown pieces.  Add wine mix to potato mix and return soup to a simmer.   Cook for a further 5 to 10 minutes, until potatoes start to fall apart and the soup thickens.  Stir in dry mustard and curry powder.    Take soup off the stove, stir in yoghurt.  Put it back over the heat and warm through.  Do not allow it to boil.   Ladle into hot soup plates, with grated lemon zest and cucumber sliced.     If you would like a thicker soup add potato flakes.

 

Corn Chowder variation:    Omit curry powder, dry mustard and plain non-fat yoghurt.   Chop onion and potatoes into small dices.   Cook as directed until potatoes are just tender.   Add corn before serving.   Garnish each serving with chopped turkey bacon.
