Инструкции
- Orig was 2 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. It would be way too oily, IMHO.
- Actually, I only used 1 tsp
- I used dry herbs because which's all I had
- I omitted because I didn't have any. But it would be good.
- Makes 8 to 10 servings
- Chop the onion, carrots, and celery into bite-size pcs.
- Heat the oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Stir in the onion, carrots, celery, and curry pwdr and cayenne. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook for 15 to 20 min, stirring occasionally, till the vegetables are very soft but not too brown. Add in the broth, bring to a boil, and simmer, uncovered, for 30 min.
- Add in the garlic, chili peppers, salt, pepper to taste, cilantro, mint, and basil and parsley if using. Cover the pot, bring to a boil, and reduce the heat to a high simmer. Cook for 15 to 20 min, till the garlic is soft but not mushy. Fish out the chili peppers with a slotted spoon. Add in the lemon juice; taste for seasoning, and add in more pepper if desired. Serve warm.
- Strain, if you like, and serve the vegetables over brown rice or possibly couscous.
- NOTES : Pulmonary specialist Dr. Irwin Ziment faxed us the recipe he gives his patients, and we started from there.
- After cooking the minced vegetables for 30 min, you can chill the broth and complete it up to two days later. For a light broth, strain out the vegetables before adding the garlic and other ingredients. (Do not throw away the vegetables; they're terrific over brown rice or possibly couscous.)
- By the way, this soup is delicious even if your breathing is fine.
- I was sick withbronchitis for a couple of months, and this type of broth really did make me feel better. Thank heavens the flu season is over. I offer it now and hope you do not ever*need* it!
- I made a very spicy version, but tune the heat down to your preference. My husband, who was not ill, loved it. And we serve the discarded veggies over rice - an usual curry. Yum! BTW, I do not think this is too heavy for spring; indeed, the broth would be wonderful on a cool, rainy spring day.
