VIETNAMESE STYLE VEGETARIAN CURRY SOUP



Vietnamese Style Vegetarian Curry Soup image

Vietnamese style curry powder can be found in Asian markets - especially in cities that have a large Vietnamese population. If you can't find it, use Madras curry powder. This spicy soup can be made into a thick stew by reducing the vegetable stock and water by half. Serve with rice and French bread.
