Yield 6 bowls

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tablespoon canola oil
1 large yellow onion diced
2 stalks celery diced
3 cloves garlic minced
2 Granny Smith apples peeled and diced
1 1/2 teaspoons hot Madras curry powder (see Tip)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
6 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup white basmati rice
12 ounces chicken breast tenders cut into bite-size pieces
1 cup lite coconut milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons toasted sliced almonds (see Tip), optional
Tip: Hot Madras curry powder, located in the spice aisle of most supermarkets, adds a pleasant level of heat. Substitute regular curry powder for a milder soup.
To toast sliced almonds, place in a small dry skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes

Steps:

Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery and garlic; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add apples, curry powder, cumin, coriander and ginger and cook, stirring often, until the apples begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add broth and rice; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 12 minutes. Add chicken, return to a simmer and cook until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender, 8 to 10 minutes more. Stir in coconut milk and return to a simmer. Remove from the heat; stir in lemon juice, salt and pepper. Garnish with almonds (if using).
