Cream of Curry Soup

This soup is an adapted, healthified version of one from The Encyclopedia of Creative Cooking (edited by Charlotte Turgeon), a garage sale, gem-in-the-rough find from 1982.  For those who prefer to omit dairy, use a little bit of soy milk for creaminess or nothing at all.  The soup is totally delicious without the yogurt or with it.

Cilantro, whether you adore or despise it, is an anti-inflammatory, naturally settles the stomach and aids in digestion.  It’s also a source of iron and magnesium.

Sea Salt and Pepper
Juice of 1 Lemon
½ Cup Plain Yogurt
Small Handful of Fresh Cilantro, chopped
