Directions
Heat oil in large stock pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, and ginger and sautee 2 minutes. Stir in curry powder and lemon zest and cook 2 minutes, until curry is fragrant. Add pepper, carrots and mushrooms and stir to combine. Add broth, water, bay leaves and salt, and bring to a boil.

Stir in potatoes and coconut milk and return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook until potatoes are fork-tender, about 10 minutes.

Remove bay leaves. Ladle soup into bowls and top each serving with 1 tbsp of chopped cilantro. Yields about 1 1/2 cups per serving.

You could also add some red pepper for added heat. Or, you could use some curry paste in place of the curry powder. I sometimes add zucchini instead of green peppers. Enjoy!

    Good, but I think I was expecting a stronger curry flavor. I would make this again, but I would probably double the curry and perhaps also the garlic and ginger, but I like spicy food. - 2/8/14
