VIETNAMESE-STYLE CHICKEN CURRY SOUP



Vietnamese-Style Chicken Curry Soup image

I use Vietnamese-style curry powder found at Asian food stores (usually called 'cari'). If you can't find it, use Madras curry powder. I make mine soupy, but you can make a thick stew by reducing the amount of chicken broth and water by half. Serve with rice or French bread, or both.
