Curried Potato and Spinach Soup with Onion Salsa and Minted Yoghurt

This aromatic curried potato and spinach soup is a vibrant vegetarian dish that brings together a wonderful variety of textures and spices. The base of the soup is earthy and comforting, featuring tender cauliflower and Yukon Gold potatoes simmered with fragrant curry leaves, turmeric, and cumin. What elevates this recipe is the trio of toppings: a savoury red onion salsa with nigella seeds, a cooling minted yoghurt, and a homemade curry oil that adds a beautiful depth of colour and warmth to every bowl.

Perfect for a nutritious family dinner or a sophisticated weekend lunch, this heart-healthy soup is naturally protein-rich thanks to the addition of firm tofu. The contrast between the spiced vegetables and the fresh herbs makes it a standout choice for those seeking a wholesome, homemade meal. Serve it with warm naan or crusty bread for a complete, satisfying experience that balances heat and freshness beautifully.
