My dad started to make this soup and its on the menu often during these cold winter months! It has simple ingredients, and is a great change up from boring meal planning with the addition of curry!
I love that this soup is hearty, creamy and still has some vegetables. When I first tried it I was pleasantly surprised by the addition of apples! It adds a sweet flavour and texture to the soup.
Give it a try!

Shred or dice the chicken and add it back into the soup, along with any juices from the chicken. Heat for another few minutes until chicken is warmed.
Option: If you like thick soup, before adding the chicken into the soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend some of the soup! Dont blend too much, you want to keep the texture of the veggies and rice 🙂
