Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, chopped
1 celery stalk, sliced
1 pear, peeled, cored and sliced
6 cups chicken stock
2 pounds parsnips, peeled and chopped
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 can (14 ounce size) evaporated milk
fresh basil, for garnish (optional)
6 thin slices pear, for garnish
In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Stir in onion, celery and pear. Cook, stirring until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in chicken stock, parsnips, bay leaf, salt, curry powder, pepper and nutmeg. Cook for about 20 minutes or until vegetables are very soft. Discard bay leaf.
Spoon into blender and puree until smooth. With motor running, pour in evaporated milk through feed tube. Blend until well combined.
Serve immediately garnished with basil and pear slice, if desired. Can be covered and refrigerated for up to 1 day.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

Best soup EVER. Next time I will halve the curry or put a large dollop of plain yogurt in for heat control!
