北海道的飲食文化（湯咖哩）/ Food Culture in Hokkaido - Soup Curry

湯咖哩的特徵為滑順口感的湯式咖哩中放入切大塊的材料。可在一碗咖哩中享用到胡蘿蔔、馬鈴薯、南瓜、肉類等北海道產的食材。湯咖哩於1970年代誕生於札幌。到了2000年代湯咖哩便聞名於日本全國。超市裏也有賣可以在家中製作的「湯咖哩精華」。

Soup Curry is characterized by its very liquid curry sauce. It's like a bowl of curry soup, but it's indeed a meal in itself, eaten together with rice. After being cooked separately, large pieces of different kinds of food are added to the soup curry. In a typical bowl of soup curry, people can find vegetables grown in Hokkaido such as carrots, potatoes, pumpkin; and meat such as chicken legs. Soup Curry was created in Sapporo in the 1970s, and gained recognition as one of Hokkaido specialty foods in the early 2000s. You can make it at home too, with curry paste or sauce which you can find in any large supermarket.
