Ingredients
  

  • 1½ pounds boneless/skinless chicken breast or thigh
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into half-moons
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced paper thin
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2½ tsp curry powder
  • ⅓ cup jasmine rice, uncooked & rinsed
  • 3 tbsp mint, finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp cilantro, finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp dill, finely chopped
  • 1 habanero, jalapeño, or chili (according to your spice tolerance)
  • 1 lime, quartered
  • olive oil
  • kosher salt
  • black pepper
  • naan, for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a small pot, place the chicken, carrots, 3 cups of broth, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce immediately to a simmer. Cover and let cook for 20 minutes. In the meantime, build your base!
  • Heat up a nice splash of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Sauté until onions are completely limp lol.
  • Add curry powder and cook for another minute.
  • To the same pan, add your UNCOOKED rice and other 3 cups of broth. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce immediately to a simmer and cover. Cook until rice falls apart, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from pot, but save everything in there! Shred chicken with 2 forks and return to pot.
  • Pour curry mixture into a large blender (careful, shit's HOT!) and blend until smooth. Work in batches if needed.
  • In a medium pot, pour blended curry/rice mixture and shredded chicken mixture. Stir in mint, cilantro, dill, and pepper if using. Heat until ready to eat, at least 15 minutes!
  • I LOVE to serve mine with warm naan to break apart into soup, and a slice of lime for a fresh squeeze of citrus.
  • This soup will warm the coldest bitch's soul. Enjoy.

Notes

1.) Set up your 'mis en place.' This means do what the recipe tells you to do to the individual ingredients, measure them out, and then place them in separate little bowls/dishes/what-have-you. When it's time to build the recipe, you have everything measured and ready to go. It makes the entire process so much easier and more enjoyable!
