- 1 cup plain yogurt

Instructions:
-
Prepare Vegetables: In a large kettle, combine chopped carrots and sweet potato with chicken broth. Simmer over medium heat until the vegetables are tender, approximately 20 minutes. Add water if needed to ensure the veggies are fully covered.
-
-
Saute Onions: While the vegetables are simmering, heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté until translucent and fragrant.
-
Combine Ingredients: Once the vegetables are tender, add the sautéed onions to the pot. Allow the mixture to cool for about 15 minutes.
-
Blend: Working in batches, transfer the vegetable mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Be careful when blending hot liquids – it’s best to do this in batches to avoid accidents.
-
Season: After all the mixture is pureed, add sugar, curry powder, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice to the blender. Blend until the spices are well incorporated.
-
Simmer: Return the blended mixture to the kettle and simmer for an additional 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
Add Yogurt: Just before serving, stir in the plain yogurt until fully incorporated. You can also substitute mayo if preferred for a creamier texture.
-
Serve: Ladle the bisque into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings. We recommend offering a variety of toppings on the side, as they add extra flavor and texture to the dish. Let your creativity shine – from sweet craisins to crunchy roasted peanuts and tropical flaked coconut, the options are endless!
