Madras chicken soup

Published by Chatelaine on 12/1/2009
No matter the influence — here we’ve gone Indian — chicken soup is always comforting. We’ve added rice and a sweet potato to make this a hearty one-dish meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 small sweet potato
  • 1 small red onion
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup (50 mL) long-grain rice
  • 11/2 tsp (7 mL) curry powder
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) cumin
  • 2 10-oz (284-mL) cans undiluted chicken broth or 4 cups (1 L) chicken bouillon

Add to grocery list
  1. Peel and thinly slice sweet potato, then cut into strips. Chop red onion. Oil a large saucepan and place over medium heat. When hot, add onion and stir occasionally until it starts to soften, about 3 min.
  2. Meanwhile, slice chicken into bite-sized pieces. Then add to onion along with the potato and rice. Sprinkle with curry powder and cumin. Cook, stirring, for 1 min. Pour in broth and 2 soup cans of water. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Then reduce heat to medium-low and boil gently, while covered, until rice is cooked, 15 to 20 min. Stir in peas and green onions. Taste and add more salt if you like.

  2. Tried this last week and the whole family enjoyed - including the kids. Might kick the curry up a notch next time, but nice change of pace from regular homemade chicken soup (note- used homemade stock).

  3. Yummy! The only thing I would do next time is increase the rice to 1/3 cup.

  4. Does sound quite yummy - I think I will substitute the rice for quinoa though.
