たっぷり野菜のカレー意込み- VEGETABLE CURRY SOUP
This is a totally different recipe than your regular curry with rice dish. When I was young, I didn’t really like curry with rice, so my mom used to make me this soup instead. It wasn’t the curry flavor I didn’t like; I think it was just the thick texture of the curry with rice that I wasn’t used to when I was a kid. This recipe always made me happy because I was the only one who had it at the dinner table.
