| Chilled Curried Pinto Bean and Gingered Carrot Soup
1 tablespoon of Canola oil 1 medium Onion, finely chopped 1 pound of carrots, quartered 2 tablespoons of fresh ginger, minced 1 teaspoon of Curry powder 15 ounces of canned pinto beans, rinsed 3 cups of Chicken broth 1 cup of plain low-fat yogurt 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro leaves 2 Scallion, finely sliced, white and green parts
1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over moderate heat. Add the onion, carrots, and 2 heaped tablespoons minced fresh ginger and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until the onion has softened, about 3 minutes. Add the curry powder and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute more. 2. Stir in the pinto beans and the broth, turn the heat to high, and bring the liquid to a boil. Turn the heat down to simmer and cook the mixture for 15 minutes or until the carrots are very tender. 3. In a blender or food processor, puree the soup in batches, then let it cool completely. Cover the soup and chill it until it is cold, at least 2 hours. 4. Just before serving, whisk in the yogurt, divide the soup among 4 soup bowls, and sprinkle with the chopped cilantro leaves and sliced scallions.
