Preparation

Step 1
Melt the butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Put the carrots, celery, onion and garlic in a food processor and process until smooth but still chunky.
Step 2
Transfer to the pot and cook, stirring for 5 minutes. Add half the curry, stir and cook until the vegetables are nearly soft, about 5 more minutes.
Step 3
Add the beans and gallon cold water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 3 hours, adding more water to keep the beans covered by 1 inch. Season with salt and pepper to taste and add the remaining curry powder to taste. Serve with crusty bread.
