Method

Melt the butter in a medium-size pan and soften the onion in it. Stir in the curry powder and let it cook for 1 minute. Add the apples, stock and a generous seasoning of salt and pepper. Bring the soup up to the boil, turn down the heat and cover the pan. Simmer gently for 20 minutes.
Liquidise the soup. Pour it through a sieve into a glass or china bowl, let. It
