Chicken soup with curry
Instructions
Try different curry blends
To personalise your chicken curry soup, try different curry powders and pastes. The mix of spices in curry, such as turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon, adds different nuances depending on the blend. Choose mild varieties for a soft warmth or spicy ones for a stronger flavour. If you are new to curry or preparing the dish for children, start with the milder options and then move to hotter mixes if you like more heat.
Pick the best apple
Opt for a sweet-tart variety like Granny Smith or Pink Lady. These apples hold their shape well when cooked, adding a subtle sweetness that complements the curry without overpowering it. Avoid overly soft apples, as they can turn mushy and lose their texture.

Sweet and savoury flavours with a hint of spice
As the chicken soup with curry simmers, the rich flavours gradually develop as all the ingredients come together. The onions and apples slowly cook, allowing their natural sugars to caramelise and lock in the spicy curry notes. The resulting taste is a delightful fusion of sweetness and warmth that infuses the entire soup with a gentle, comforting heat, which you can feel all the way from your taste buds to your belly.
A warm and soothing meal for colder days
As the seasons shift and the chill sets in, nothing feels quite as comforting as a bowl of warm chicken soup with curry. Maybe you are wrapping up a long day or looking for an easy meal to share with loved ones; either way, this soup is perfect. It is easy to prepare, taking only 20 minutes from start to finish, and serves four, making it ideal for a meal with the family or for when you have company.
Make it your own
You can enrich your chicken curry soup with a range of different ingredients. Vegetables such as butternut squash, potatoes, and sweet potatoes are excellent choices. Butternut squash and sweet potatoes offer a subtle sweetness, while regular potatoes contribute a milder taste.
Adding toasted cashews or almonds as a garnish can provide a delightful crunch and a subtle nutty flavour that contrasts nicely with the creamy texture of the soup. For an earthy undertone, consider sprinkling sesame seeds or pumpkin seeds just before serving.
To change the creamy texture, substitute some of the cooking cream with coconut milk. This goes well with the curry and complements the sweetness of the apple, giving the soup a slightly richer, more exotic feel without being too overwhelming.
