Curried cream of tomato soup with apples
Dietitian's tip: Curry is a combination of spices that can include cumin, pepper, chili peppers, ginger, onion, cinnamon, paprika, cilantro or tumeric. This soup has a sweet — not spicy — taste. If you prefer a more chunky soup, don't blend in the food processor or blender.

Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups finely chopped onion
1 cup finely chopped celery
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon curry powder, or to taste

1/2 teaspoon thyme
Ground black pepper, to taste

Directions
In a soup pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery and garlic. Saute until tender, about 4 minutes. Add the curry powder and cook, stirring about 1 minute.
