Here's the recipes from last week. This is scaled to about 40-50 people.

Cool curried apple soup

Ingredients

10 small onions, finely diced
1.5 c safflower oil
4 T. curry powder
5 T. ginger, minced
2.5 cup apple cider
30 lbs. cooking apples of choice, peeled, cored, and diced
40 cups vegetable stock
10 cup apple juice
10 cup soy milk

1 c. lemon juice
salt and pepper, to taste

In 3 large pots, saute the onions in oil for 5 minutes or until soft. Add the curry powder and ginger, and saute an additional minute. Add the apple cider, and stir well to deglaze the pot. Add the diced apples, vegetable stock, and apple juice, and bring the mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the apples are tender. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Immersion blender it! Whisk in the soy milk, a little of the lemon juice, and season to taste with salt and pepper. If desired, add additional curry powder, apple juice, or lemon juice to the soup to adjust the sweetness or spicy flavor of the soup. Serve hot or cold.

comments: we chilled the soup after cooking the apples. The next morning we blended it and wisked in the soy milk. And we entirely omitted the lemon juice as the apples we used were sour enough we thought.
