To start, sauté the onions in a generous knob of butter until they turn soft and translucent; this step will give your soup a beautiful foundation of flavor. Next, stir in some curry powder and let it cook, allowing the spices to bloom in the hot butter. Then, add in your diced carrots and sweet potatoes, followed by chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to let it simmer gently until the vegetables are tender. Finally, add in the chopped apples. Purée the mixture until it’s beautifully smooth and creamy. The result? A cozy, vibrant bowl of soup that’s perfect for chilly days. Serve hot and enjoy!
