Soups the word...
Isis Becquerel Ferine Strumpet Join date: 1 Sep 2004 Posts: 971	01-28-2005 08:44 The weather here is so erratic (75 degrees one day and 25 the next) that I have not had the urge to make soup. But a couple of weeks ago I made my stocks to freeze for the season and decided this morning to grab some chicken stock and try out a new recipe. It is simply but ended up wonderful so I thought, being bored and all, that I would share: 4 stalks celery (the tender ones in the middle are the best) chopped fine 2 medium carrots diced or julienned depending on how you want it to look 1 medium onion diced 2 tbsp olive oil and one pat of butter 3.5 cups chicken stock (if you use store bought it would be about 2 cans) 1/4 cup rice (long grain or basmati raw) 1 cup chopped apple 1 tbsp curry powder (I like the indian tumeric based yellow curry powder for this..madras is too hot) 1/8 tsp dried thyme (rub in your hands to release the oils a bit) 1/2 cup light cream 2 tbsp flour 1 cup cooked chicken chopped heat fats in soup pot over medium high heat add diced veggies (carrots, onion, celery) cook about 5 min or until tender add curry, thyme, apples and rice stir to coat add stock bring to a boil and reduce heat to low cover and simmer 25 minutes in a seperate bowl stir cream and flour untill smooth stir flour cream mixture into soup pot untill blended bring back to boil over medium heat and stir untill thickened Serve with a splach of apple brandy and a dollop of chutney and a peice of flat bread. _____________________ One of the most fashionable notions of our times is that social problems like poverty and oppression breed wars.

Taco Rubio also quite creepy Join date: 15 Feb 2004 Posts: 3,349	01-28-2005 08:58 this looks delicious, and i'll use almost any excuse to put curry into something! One question, does the apple go in along witht the veggies, or later? _____________________ From: Torley Linden We can't be clear enough, ever, in our communication.
