Well what a filling light dinner this made for 3 of us (yes no left overs). The only changes I made were to use 2 teaspoons of curry (1 of hot madras and 1 of regular cut with a 1/4 teaspoon on sugar) and I skipped step3 and just blended the soup for if I had left vegies there the DM would only have left them behind and it was better for her to eat as much as possible. Ours was nice and thick but that is what we like so we were very happy with the result, thank you *Parsley*, made for Went To Market.

This is very simple to make, especially if you have an immersion blender. Adjust the curry powder to taste. I used the full 3 tsp of hot curry powder and it came out pretty spicy and good.
