Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine the tomato soup, pea soup, coffee cream, dry mustard, curry powder, salt, and Worcestershire sauce in a pot.
- Cook over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Serve hot, garnished if desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using coconut milk instead of coffee cream. You can also add diced vegetables like carrots or potatoes for extra nutrition and flavor. If you prefer a spicier kick, add more curry powder or a pinch of cayenne pepper. This soup works well as a base for other ingredients, so feel free to experiment with your favorite proteins or legumes. Enjoy it alongside a slice of Rich Egg Bread for a satisfying meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the curried soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs like cilantro or a dollop of sour cream for added creaminess. It pairs beautifully with a side of crusty bread or a fresh salad. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside Pretzel Salad (Sounds Awful, But Is Very Good!) for a delightful contrast in flavors and textures.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm the soup gently on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. You can also microwave it in a microwave-safe bowl, covering it loosely to allow steam to escape. Add a splash of water or broth if it thickens too much during storage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this soup vegan?
Yes, you can easily make this soup vegan by substituting the coffee cream with a plant-based cream or coconut milk. Additionally, ensure that your Worcestershire sauce is vegan-friendly, or replace it with soy sauce or a splash of vinegar for a similar depth of flavor.
How can I thicken the soup if it's too thin?
If your soup turns out too thin, you can thicken it by adding a slurry of cornstarch and water. Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water, then stir it into the soup while it's simmering. Allow it to cook for a few more minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.
What vegetables can I add to this soup?
You can add a variety of vegetables to enhance the nutritional value and flavor of the soup. Diced carrots, bell peppers, or potatoes are great options. You can also include leafy greens like spinach or kale, adding them towards the end of cooking to keep them vibrant and fresh.
