Prep and Cooking for Chicken Vegetable Soup
1) Start with the veggies. Chop and dice them all up into small cubes, even the onion. Grate the garlic cloves.
2) Boil the chopped vegetables in the chicken broth, except the tomatoes, onions, and garlic.
3) While the vegetables are boiling, cut the chicken breasts into small cube pieces.
5) Sauté or boil the chicken until cooked.
6) After the chicken is cooked, shred it apart with your fingers.
7) Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, firm or soft, let them sit without the flame. At this time, you will sauté 1 tablespoon of butter, the chopped onion, and minced garlic for 3 minutes. Stir as you sauté to prevent burning.
8) After sautéing the onion and garlic, add it to the vegetables and broth as well as the 3 tablespoons of curry, the tomatoes, and the chicken. I wait to add these ingredients so they are not cooking for so long to maintain their flavor.
9) Stir and mix it all together in the pot.
10) EAT!!!!!
Taste the soup when you are finished to see if you would like to add more flavor. If you like spice, you can add black pepper to the mix that will make the curry more digestible and powerful.
When I am eating the soup, I squeeze half of fresh lime on top of the soup. Squeeze a little bit each time to find how much lime you may want. Only add fresh lime to your bowl of soup, not into the entire mixture.
You can add other spices or use different veggies if you like.
Bon Appetit!
