    • Yes and it tastes nice too! Infact I used the soup for a base of a couple of stews throughout the week….if you prefer your soup without texture you could blend it too

  1. Hey Kegs- much to my dismay they did use curry powder in some recipes from 1940s… I have found several recipes!

    I don’t think it was one of the more commoner spices but they DID use it!!!

    Roll on curry spiced soup!!!
