- ½ c chopped onion
- 4 c chicken broth
- 1 c chopped apple (peeled or unpeeled)

- Blend cream and flour. Stir in.
- Cook and stir until thick and bubbly.
- Let cool and seal in an airtight container (or lots of tinfoil and saran wrap!).

Kath’s quote:
“This curry was like a performance of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony that I’d once heard…..especially the last movement, with everything screaming and banging ‘Joy.’ It stunned, it made one fear great art. My father could say nothing after the meal.”-Anthony Burgess
Love-that is all.
