A New Soup Recipe - I Could Not Stop Eating It!!!

About a month ago, I made up this soup and invited my friend, Claire to come eat it with me. She loved it (as did I). She told me to write it down while it was fresh in my mind but I kept forgetting to and, like all memories, it faded away.


Tonight, I decided to revive it and it was SO much better than the original that I simply could not stop eating it. Luckily it was nutricious so I did not feel super guilty about it. I was truly thrilled with it. Here is what I did.



Curried Yam with Chicken Soup



1 Rotisserie Chicken (from the market or home made)


1 box chicken broth (or juices from home made chicken plus water to top off)


3 cloves garlic chopped


1/2 yellow onion


1 1/2 cups minced carrots


2 tablespoons olive oil


2 tablespoons butter or non-hydrogenated substitute


1/2 teaspoon mustard seed


1/2 teaspoon sea salt


1 1/2 teaspoon curry powder


1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger


1/2 teaspoon turmeric


1 teaspoon cumin


1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)


3 large chopped yams



Chop up yams, onions, garlic, mince carrots in a food processor if you have one otherwise, chop them. Heat soup pot on medium high until hot. Add olive oil and butter. Add garlic and sautee. Add onion, sautee. Add carrots, sautee. Add mustard seed and salt and stir. Add other spices mixed. Sautee until aromatic. Add yams and sautee for about 1o minutes. Add boxed chicken broth or pan drippings from home made chicken plus water to covering. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20-30 minutes or until tender.



Scoop out most of the soup into a blender or vitamix and blend well. Return creamy soup back in with chunks and broth to create a creamy and chunky effect together. Chop up cooked chicken and add as much or as little as you like and stir. Simmer a few minutes more and serve.



I seriously could not stop eating this. My eyes rolled back in my head upon first taste so I knew it was perfect. I hope this comes out as great for you as it did for me.
