CHICKEN CURRY STEW SOUP WITH CURRANTS AND ORZO



Chicken Curry Stew Soup With Currants and Orzo image

If you are a curry-lover, then this soup is a must try. If you like a creamy texture then add in some whipping cream towards the end of cooking. If you are serving more than 4 people, then I suggest to double the recipe. All ingredients can be adjusted to suit taste, but start with the amounts listed. For even more heat, add in a seeded and finely chopped jalapeno pepper with the onions and garlic. This soup can be made a day ahead and just reheated, in fact it tastes even better the following day!

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken pieces: For a more flavorful stew, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks. If you prefer white meat, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs can be used, but they may be a bit drier.
  • Brown the chicken before stewing: Browning the chicken in a little oil before adding it to the stew will help to develop its flavor and give the stew a richer color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onions, but you can also add other vegetables such as potatoes, green beans, or peas.
  • Use a good quality curry powder: The curry powder is the key ingredient in this stew, so be sure to use a good quality brand. Look for a curry powder that is made with a variety of spices, including turmeric, cumin, coriander, and fenugreek.
  • Adjust the heat level to your liking: This recipe is mild to medium in heat, but you can add more chili powder or cayenne pepper to make it spicier.
  • Serve with rice or naan: This stew is traditionally served with rice or naan, but it can also be served with other sides such as mashed potatoes or pasta.

Conclusion:

This chicken curry stew is a flavorful and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a relatively easy recipe to make, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a comforting and delicious meal, give this chicken curry stew a try.
