Cold Curried Chicken Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in saucepan and stir in flour, salt and curry powder. Over medium heat, gradually stir in milk. Bring to a boil and boil 1 minute stirring constantly.
• Let cool.
• Combine remaining ingredients in blender until smooth. Stir this into the milk mixture. Chill thoroughly.
• Pour into soup bowls and garnish with almonds and chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Combine the chicken, carrots, bay leaf and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan. Add 3 cups broth and bring to a boil; immediately reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the chicken is just firm, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the butter in another saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onion, sugar and 1 teaspoon salt; cook until the onion is soft, 5 minutes. Add the curry powder and cook for 1 minute. Add the rice and the remaining 3 cups broth. Increase the heat to medium, cover and simmer until the rice falls apart, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from its broth; discard the skin and shred the meat into pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the same broth.
• Puree the rice mixture with an immersion blender until smooth (or use a regular blender, then return to the pan). Pour in the shredded chicken and broth, stirring gently to combine; bring to a simmer. Toss in the chopped herbs and serve the soup with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chicken to the hot oil and cook until browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Add curry paste and stir to coat. Add tomatoes and stir. Fill an empty tomato can with water and add to the pot; repeat with the 2nd tomato can. Crumble in stock cube and simmer soup for 10 minutes.
• Add spinach to the pot and simmer until defrosted, 10 to 15 minutes more. Stir to mix well into soup. Add chickpeas and cook until heated, 2 to 3 minutes.
