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!

The recipe brings back fond memories of the family gathered around the table, enjoying this delicious meal and catching up on one another's day. I tweaked the ingredients a bit to fit my toddler's taste buds, but it's just as scrumptious as Grandma's own. -Teresa Flowers, Sacramento, California

CHICKEN SOUP WITH ORZO



Chicken soup with orzo image

This is a twist on traditional Jewish chicken soup which is one of my favourite dishes but can be extremely time consuming. This one is just as comforting but is a lot less effort

Provided by em_macaussie

Time 2h40m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large free range chicken
3 carrots chopped
3 sticks celery chopped
2 onions, peeled and chopped
3 bay leaves
10 peppercorns
4 cloves garlic
1/2 cup orzo

Steps:

  • Place your whole chicken in a large pot and cover with water until it is submerged by about 5cm. Bring to the boil, skimming the froth off the surface when necessary. Simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Add the chopped vegetables, garlic, peppercorns and bay leaves, and season with a good pinch of sea salt. Bring back to the boil, then turn the heat down and leave it to simmer for 1 hour. Keep an eye on the broth, skimming when necessary.
  • When the soup has been cooking for an hour since adding the vegetables, use tongs to carefully transfer the chicken to a roasting pan with deep sides. Leave to cool, uncovered, for a few minutes. Remove the soup from the heat and strain it through your biggest sieve or colander into a large bowl or pot. Return the strained soup to the heat and bring back up to a simmer.
  • When your chicken has cooled enough to handle, either use two forks or use your hands to shred the meat off the bone. Pile it on to a plate and add the skin and bones back to the pot to simmer for 20 minutes. Strain again before placing back on the heat and adding your orzo. Bring back up to the boil for 15 minutes or until the orzo is almost cooked. Add all your shredded chicken meat to the soup and warm through for 3 minutes. Have a taste, and season with salt and pepper.

Time 1h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 ounces orzo pasta
1 teaspoon olive oil
3 carrots, chopped, or more to taste
3 ribs celery, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried oregano
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 bay leaf

½ cup fresh lemon juice
1 lemon, zested
8 ounces cooked chicken breast, chopped
1 (8 ounce) package baby spinach leaves
1 lemon, sliced for garnish
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook orzo in the boiling water until partially cooked through but not yet soft, about 5 minutes; drain and rinse with cold water until cooled completely.
  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir carrots, celery, and onion in hot oil until the vegetables begin to soften and the onion becomes translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Season mixture with thyme, oregano, salt, black pepper, and bay leaf; continue cooking another 30 seconds before pouring chicken broth into the pot.
  • Bring the broth to a boil. Partially cover the pot, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the vegetables are just tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir orzo, lemon juice, and lemon zest into the broth; add chicken. Cook until the chicken and orzo are heated through, about 5 minutes.
