Recipe for Disney Cruise Line’s Curried Carrot and Apple Soup Recipe
From the Enchanted Garden / aboard the Disney Dream
Serves 4
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 cup diced carrots (about 4 medium carrots) plus 1 whole carrot, divided
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled and chopped
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- Coarse salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Plain yogurt, fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy bottomed pot over medium heat. Add curry powder and cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add diced carrots, onions and apple, and stir until coated with the curry powder. Sauté for 5 minutes. Add broth, stirring to combine.
- Cover the pot. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until carrots and apples are very soft, about 20 to 25 minutes. Puree in a blender, or with a hand-held blender. Taste, and add salt and pepper, if desired.
- While soup is cooking, preheat oven to 400°F. Peel remaining whole carrot and cut into very thin curls. Roast for 3 to 5 minutes, or until ends are browned and crisp.
- Top each bowl of soup with yogurt, roasted carrot curls and fresh parsley. Serve warm.
Why Family Travel Requires More Planning — and More Expertise
Family travel is the most rewarding kind of trip to plan well and the most stressful kind to plan poorly. Children have different thresholds for long travel days, disrupted sleep schedules, and adult-paced itineraries. At Atlas Travel Center, we’ve been booking family vacations since 1987, and we’ve learned that the key to a great family trip isn’t finding a place with a kids’ club — it’s designing an itinerary that genuinely works for every member of the group, regardless of age.
Disney destinations, in particular, require a level of advance planning that surprises most first-timers. Dining reservations open 60 days in advance and popular restaurants fill within minutes. Lightning Lane passes and special event tickets require strategy. Knowing which parks to prioritize on which days, how to minimize wait times, and where to build in rest — these are the details our advisors have helped thousands of families navigate over the years.
Beyond the Theme Parks
Some of the best family travel memories happen away from the most crowded destinations. A family cruise offers unmatched value — one price covers accommodation, food, entertainment, and transportation between destinations, with something for every age onboard. Caribbean all-inclusive resorts with water parks, Rocky Mountain ranch vacations, national park road trips, and European river cruises tailored for multi-generational groups are all experiences our advisors design regularly.
