If you like Indian food you'll LOVE this. If you've never had Indian food, do not fear. I hadn't had Indian food until 2 years ago. The food is aesthetically different from American food, the smell is strong and their restaurants always are intimidating because it's a new place with new food you have yet to try. But one day while in Georgetown, I was just too hungry to find any place else. And that was the day I fell in love with Indian food. You get a main dish, like a curry, which is cooked in a clay pot usually. You use a pita like bread called naan to help eat it and you usually put the main dish over rice. It's spicy, not hot spicy, but make your taste buds dance spicy.
Now come fall, I love all things soup related. I made this and became saddened I didn't have a whole vat full to keep me full forever. Either way, I highly recommend trying this. It has the fall flavors of apple and squash with the smells and tastes of India.
Ingredients:
1 Campbell's select butternut squash soup (It comes seasoned)
2 mini jars of apple sauce (The ones you got in your lunch box as a kid, if not use 1/2 cup applesauce)
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
1 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon 5 spice
1 teaspoon cumin
Directions:
In a pot, add squash soup and apple sauce. Turn heat to medium. Add in spices. Stir to combine. After 5 minutes or so it should be hot enough to eat. Serve with naan. No naan? Try a pita. This serves one as a meal. (It is a very large serving.)
