Curried Carrot Soup
=================== 2022-12-07


Based on: Curried carrot soup
and: Roasted carrot soup

Comment: No need for cream or milk, just a couple of knobs of butter at the end does the job. Be careful with the chicken stock, some are very salty, so decrease the salt added to the soup accordingly. An interesting note is to add lardons at serving time. ~200 g should do it. Brown them and add them to the soup when serving. Of course no sumac in this case as the sumac has a slight lemony taste.
