This soup took a little prep time, but was worth it! It was my first time cooking with curry so I was a little nervous, but Dave and I both loved it. I was very excited to eat leftovers all week and was so upset to find that I forgot to put it in the refrigerator overnight and had to throw the rest out. :(
This is yet another Oxygen magazine recipe. This came from an article which showed the cost per serving. They say this recipe cost $1.12 per serving! It says it makes 12 servings. As a main meal, I think it was going to end up being about 8 servings or so. I used chicken instead of shrimp and next time I might skip the meat altogether. It was very filling.

1 onion, chopped
