Chicken Curry Soup

Chicken Curry Soup

This is an easy and delicious soup that is perfect for IdealProtein folks.

Before I begin this is modified from my Mom's recipe.  GO MOM!
She is also on Ideal Protein.

This will make 2 servings of 8oz chicken protein and 2 cups of mushrooms/peppers give or take, and lots of broth. So pull up a big bowl! Great for cold days.

Things you will need.

4 chicken breasts.

*i get the skinless/boneless kind*
NOTE: easy to prepare each piece is about 4oz so use 2 of them per person to get your 8oz of protein.


These you can find in places like stop and shop etc.  

7 TBS of Curry powder 

*6 for the broth and 1 for the chicken*

1 teaspoon of Sea salt add more to taste.



1 fork full of minced garlic fresh or in jar.




2 boxes chicken broth 32 oz. containers


McCormick Garlic and pepper:  Add To taste!

1/2 bag of Frozen mixed peppers: 16oz bag





And a crock pot/slow cooker: 


This is the one I use. I set it for HIGH and for 4hrs.

------------------------------------------------

Broth:

Pour in 1 and 1/2 boxes of the chicken broth into the slow cooker
save a bit of the 2nd box for the chicken in a few steps *SO don't use it all yet*

Add in 1 box diced mushrooms
Add in 1/2 bag of the Frozen Peppers
along with 1 fork full of minced garlic
5 or so grinds with the pepper/garlic grinder (taste to see how much)
Add in 6 TBL spoons Curry powder *add to taste*
1 TBL spoon Sea salt *add to taste*
5 good shakes of onion powder *add to taste*

Heat up frying pan with a bit of spray butter or 1 TBL spoon of Olive oil.
add in chicken broth left in the 2nd box
Add in 1 fork full of minced garlic and a few shakes of the pepper mill
Add in 1 TBL spoon of curry powder
Small amount of sea salt.

Add in the chicken and pre cook it till its white.. DON'T over cook. you only want to get the outside white and warm.. with all the spices stuck to it.

Once cooked part way though.. Add into the slow cooker with the broth/mushrooms/peppers

Cook 4 to 5 hrs. Stirring occasionally Make sure to add water if needed.

Check it at 2hr's 4hr's add an hour extra if needed. 

Cut open a larger chuck of chicken to see if its white.. Should NOT be pink. If it is pink add more time.

Serves 2 LARGE bowls with very little carbs all your veggies you need with a spicy kick!
