This is an old favorite soup of mine. I first discovered it when I was in high school & I attended the applied technology college twice a week my senior year. I was trying out the Culinary Arts program to see if that’s what I wanted to pursue after I finished high school. The Culinary program there was basically just students running the cafeteria. I was assigned soups for quite a while actually and I was really starting to get sick of making soup. Regardless, I frequented this recipe because the customers liked it & it was easy to make. We made ours with egg noodles instead of rice, but I have changed the recipe here for a more traditional Indian inspired chicken, rice & curry soup.
The most unique thing about this soup is that it has chunks of apple in it. It adds a light sweetness to the soup & it’s quite delicious. My kids gobbled this up as well, which is a miracle in itself. My 2 year old daughter was slurping it out of her bowl like it was a cup of chocolate milk. So this is an incredibly kid-friendly meal! Enjoy!
