I know this soup sounds a bit strange – I thought so myself when I first heard about it.
Fruit Soup? –
I was at IGA, and they had some taste testing for Mango Chicken Chowder & Mango Salsa & mango Avocado Smoothie. I was wowed. It wasn’t what I expected. I expected something similar to Pumpkin or Sweet Potato Soup – But it was nowhere that sweet. The Secret Ingredient in this recipe is the “Curry” it balances out the sweetness – so it does not taste overly sweet & fruity.
The kind gentlemen gave me the recipe and gave me tons of suggestions on modifying it.
I was thankful for this delicious new recipe to try on my family – Everyone Said – Add it to the “Make Again ” List & Double the Recipe! So I may use this recipe again on Boxing Day with my leftover turkey.
There is so much you can do with the recipe to make it your own – If your Vegan – add more veggies and leave out the meat. – Don’t have Turkey – use Chicken, pork, or lamb. Add as many veggies as you would like. – the more, the chunkier the soup will be.
A great tasting soup that your family will beg for you to make again and again!
