method
1. Trim the fat from the meat and render it down in a large pan.
2. When it has given up quite a lot of its fat remove the crisp remains and saute the meat, followed by the vegetables and apples.
3. Sprinkle in the flour and the curry powder or paste and add the warmed water and the herbs.
4. Cook the soup for about two hours,skimming it at first.
5. At the end of this time strain the soup and check the seasoning.
6. Pick the meat from the bones if you are going to puree it.
7. Add the lemon juice just before serving. Otherwise serve the strained soup, the fat removed from the top, with the lemon juice added at the last minute.
8. Add cooked chopped ham or chicken as a garnish.
