Ingredients
1 - 2 lbs boneless pork loin, cut in bite-size pieces3 medium yellow onions, diced6 stalks celery, sliced8 c water or stock2.5 pounds potatoes, cubed6 carrots, cut into bite-size pieces1-2 large bay leaves4 tbsp each butter and oil (like canola)3/4 c flourcurry powder to taste
Saute meat until lightly browned in lightly oiled pan. Add onions and celery, cook until translucent. Transfer to large soup pot, add stock or water. If you use water, you may want to add base or bullion to taste. Add bay leaf, potatoes and carrots. Bring to a boil, then simmer until the vegetables are tender. Add salt if needed to taste. Thicken with roux made with butter, oil, and flour. Add curry powder to taste (I use S&B brand from Japan, 6 - 8 tbsp makes it nice and hot). You may toast the curry powder slightly in a small dry skillet before you add it to bring out the aroma. Serve on or beside steamed white rice (I like Botan -short grain Japanese rice), and add soy sauce to taste at the table.

I've been searching for a recipe to remind me of my days as an exchange student in Japan. Thank you for sharing. I will have to see if I can find the Japanese Curry powder. - 5/16/11

Any curry powder works, I've used the kind from Sam's and Gordon Foods, too, just like the S&B best.

Flavor great but I found this very soupy. - 4/10/11

Did you use enough flour in the roux? You need to slowly toast the roux over medium heat -see if that helps. Add more roux if necessary.
