Try different curry blends

To personalise your chicken curry soup, try different curry powders and pastes. The mix of spices in curry, such as turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon, adds different nuances depending on the blend. Choose mild varieties for a soft warmth or spicy ones for a stronger flavour. If you are new to curry or preparing the dish for children, start with the milder options and then move to hotter mixes if you like more heat.

Pick the best apple

Opt for a sweet-tart variety like Granny Smith or Pink Lady. These apples hold their shape well when cooked, adding a subtle sweetness that complements the curry without overpowering it. Avoid overly soft apples, as they can turn mushy and lose their texture.

FAQ: Questions about chicken soup with curry

Looking for a simple and delicious meal to warm you up? Try our chicken soup with curry, and breeze through the preparation with our answers to the most frequently asked questions. Learn how to adjust the consistency, store leftovers, and even freeze it for later enjoyment.

How can I thicken the chicken soup with curry if it is too thin?

If the chicken soup with curry is too thin for your liking, you can thicken it with cornstarch. Mix equal parts of cornstarch with water, then gradually stir it into the simmering soup. Start with 3–4 tablespoons of cornstarch. You can also try to let the soup simmer uncovered for longer to reduce the liquid and create a thicker consistency.

How should I store leftover chicken soup with curry?

Store the soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Allow it to cool to room temperature before storing. This prevents condensation, which can cause it to spoil faster. Warm it gently on the stove when you want to enjoy it again.

Can I freeze chicken soup with curry?

You can freeze chicken curry soup for up to 3 months, but be aware that freezing may change the texture of the chicken. Make sure to cool it completely before putting it into airtight containers or freezer bags to avoid freezer burn and preserve the flavour. When you want to eat it, thaw it in the fridge and reheat it on the stove.

Sweet and savoury flavours with a hint of spice

As the chicken soup with curry simmers, the rich flavours gradually develop as all the ingredients come together. The onions and apples slowly cook, allowing their natural sugars to caramelise and lock in the spicy curry notes. The resulting taste is a delightful fusion of sweetness and warmth that infuses the entire soup with a gentle, comforting heat, which you can feel all the way from your taste buds to your belly.

A warm and soothing meal for colder days

It is easy to prepare, taking only 20 minutes from start to finish, and serves four, making it ideal for a meal with the family or for when you have company.

Make it your own

You can enrich your chicken curry soup with a range of different ingredients. Vegetables such as butternut squash, potatoes, and sweet potatoes are excellent choices. Butternut squash and sweet potatoes offer a subtle sweetness, while regular potatoes contribute a milder taste.

Adding toasted cashews or almonds as a garnish can provide a delightful crunch and a subtle nutty flavour that contrasts nicely with the creamy texture of the soup. For an earthy undertone, consider sprinkling sesame seeds or pumpkin seeds just before serving.

To change the creamy texture, substitute some of the cooking cream with coconut milk. This goes well with the curry and complements the sweetness of the apple, giving the soup a slightly richer, more exotic feel without being too overwhelming.
