Fun name to say, delicious soup to eat! My whole family liked this hearty soup. It is the perfect thing to make for chilly winter night. I served it with a green salad and some homemade french bread : sliced very thin, brushed with olive oil and garlic, and toasted in the oven. I used 2 heaping t. of curry powder, not knowing if the flavor would be too overpowering, but next time I'll go ahead and use 3 full t. Very fulfilling and delicious!

Ingredients:

2 T. olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1 celery rib, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 apple, cored, peeled, and chopped
1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast (I used 2 c. rotisserie)
1/2 c. flour
2 to 3 t. curry powder
5 c. chicken broth
1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, drained
salt and pepper
2 c. hot cooked rice

1. Heat oil in large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, green pepper, apple, and chicken (unless using rotisserie like me...if so, add chicken with the broth in next step). Saute for about 15 minutes. Turn the heat to low.

2. In small bowl, mix the flour and curry powder. Add the mixture to the pot, then stir and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth (rotisserie chicken now if you are using it) and tomatoes. Partially cover the pot and simmer the soup for about an hour, stirring occasionally. Add the salt and pepper to taste.

3. To serve, place about 1/4 c. of rice in a bowl and ladle the soup over the rice. Makes about 8 cups.
