Smoked Eggplant Onion and Apple Soup Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Soak the wood chips in water for about an hour before making the fire. Prepare a wood or coal fire and add the wood chips. Rinse the eggplants; slice off the top leafy part and the bottom naval. Peel the onions Cut eggplants and onions in half and rub all sides generously with olive oil. Place eggplants directly flat side down on the grill. Put the onions on a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil to keep them together. Grill over indirect heat. Grill on both sides until the eggplants are spongy but not really soft and have nice grill marks. The onions should soften, but it not too important. You are trying to get a smoky flavor on the onions too. Remove both and chop coarsely.
  • While the eggplants are grilling, sauté apples and in butter until soft. Add the garlic, basil, Garam massala, cumin and 2 t. of the curry powder. Cook over medium low heat, stirring 5 minutes. Watch that it doesn’t stick. Add the chicken stock and sherry. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer. Cook covered for 30 minutes. Turn off heat, add sour cream. Puree soup with a hand blender. Check the curry. Since curries are all individually blended they vary widely. You may need 1-2 t. more. Check for salt. Add a little hot sauce if needed and sugar or sweetener as needed.

    This sounds really good. I have some eggplants in my fridge that I'm not sure what to do with and this recipe may be the answer. Thanks!
