This delicious chicken soup has wonderful flavor of curry powder and other spices, along with tomatoes, apples, and diced vegetables.

Ingredients:

  • 1 to 1 1/4 pounds boneless chicken breast or tenders
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion, diced, about 1 cup
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1 rib celery, diced
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and diced
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon mace or nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • pepper to taste
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (14 1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice or lemon juice
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons long grain rice, optional

Preparation:

Rinse chicken and pat dry; cut into small cubes. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add chicken, onion, carrot, celery, bell pepper, and apple. Sauté, stirring, until onion is tender, about 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in flour until well incorporated. Add remaining ingredients, except rice. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 45 to 60 minutes. If desired, add rice about 20 minutes before done.
Serves 6 to 8.

"My husband loved it and it was easy to make. I did not put any celery or green pepper. I used nutmeg not mace. I used white rice not long grain rice. I was worried it was going to be too strong but it turned out perfect."
