It would be way too oily, IMHO.

Actually, I only used 1 tsp
4
** I used dry herbs because which's all I had
5
*** I omitted because I didn't have any.
6
But it would be good.

8
Heat the oil in a soup pot over medium heat.
9
Stir in the onion, carrots, celery, and curry pwdr and cayenne.
10
Reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook for 15 to 20 min, stirring occasionally, till the vegetables are very soft but not too brown.
11
Add in the broth, bring to a boil, and simmer, uncovered, for 30 min.

NOTES : Pulmonary specialist Dr. Irwin Ziment faxed us the recipe he gives his patients, and we started from there.
20
After cooking the minced vegetables for 30 min, you can chill the broth and complete it up to two days later.
21
For a light broth, strain out the vegetables before adding the garlic and other ingredients.
22
(Do not throw away the vegetables; they're terrific over brown rice or possibly couscous.)
23
By the way, this soup is delicious even if your breathing is fine.
24
I was sick withbronchitis for a couple of months, and this type of broth really did make me feel better.
25
Thank heavens the flu season is over.
26
I offer it now and hope you do not ever*need* it!
27
I made a very spicy version, but tune the heat down to your preference.
28
My husband, who was not ill, loved it.
29
And we serve the discarded veggies over rice - an usual curry.
30
Yum!
31
BTW, I do not think this is too heavy for spring; indeed, the broth would be wonderful on a cool, rainy spring day.
