This soup shines in two situations. It is an excellent way to start a heavy or holiday meal because it warms the appetite without weighing it down, thanks to its broth base and lack of melted cheese. It is also exactly the kind of soup you want tucked into the freezer for nights when you want something warm and comforting without committing to a full cooking session. Reheat the base, stir, toast some bread, and your meal is served.

This was something that I kind of threw together at the last moment, and it turned out to be quite tasty and easy to make. It’s the month of Italian, and risotto is a traditional Italian dish made from arborio rice. Curry is Indian, but I’m sure Marco Polo probably brought the spice back to Italy from his year-long stay in India, so this is fusion cuisine.
