This is a delicious wintery soup, based on my recipe for Hutsepot, a traditional Belgian dish. Very nice with some homemade bread!
From Ruth Van Waerebeek’s “Everybody Eats Well in Belgium Cookbook.” Ruth says this soup has a special status in Belgium where it’s commonly served at wedding receptions, anniversaries and other festive occasions. It’s a little different from the tomato soup I grew up with: creamy, yes, but with bits of fresh tomato and the flavors of Madeira or Cognac providing a kind of grown-up undertone. This is Ruth’s mother’s version; it can be made a day ahead.
In the Middle Ages, Flemish cities were at the crossroads of the Northern spice routes, and brewers and cooks both took advantage of exotic spices. According to Food & Wine, you’ll see that influence in this curried soup and in the Blanche de Bruges that is its ideal wheat beer accompaniment. MAKE AHEAD: The curried soup can be prepared through Step 1 and refrigerated overnight.
