Ingredients: 1 Tbsp olive oil, extra-virgin

4 cup(s) uncooked onion(s), chopped

1 tsp kosher salt

1 Tbsp minced garlic

1 Tbsp ginger root, minced

2 tsp curry powder

¹/₂ tsp garam masala

2 tsp fresh lime juice, optional

8 tsp cilantro, fresh, chopped
Instructions: Heat oil in a large nonstick pot over medium heat. Add onion and salt; cook, stirring often, until onion has softened, about 10 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, curry powder and garam masala; stir and cook for 1 minute.

Add broth and potatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until potato is soft, about 15 to 20 minutes. Puree soup in pot using an immersion blender (or transfer to a blender and puree in batches). Stir in lime juice (if using) and serve each bowl garnished with cilantro. Yields about 1 cup per serving.
