Directions
Warm the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the curry powder and let it cook for about a minute until fragrant. Toss in the chopped onion and garlic, cooking them gently for 8 to 10 minutes until the onion turns soft and translucent. Next, pour in the peaches along with their syrup, then add the tomatoes, grated ginger, cream, and broth. Season with salt and pepper, stir everything together, and let it simmer on low heat for about 45 minutes. When it’s ready, ladle the soup into bowls and top it with some shrimp and fresh lettuce before serving.
