Chicken Curry Soup

by | Mar 28, 2021 | Lenten Tea: Palm Sunday/Holy Thursday, Recipes | 1 comment

I’ve had a few requests lately for my mom’s Chicken Curry Soup recipe which has been included in some of our past Palm Sunday or Holy Thursday Lenten Dinners.  It’s really yummy and I’m looking forward to serving it again this week! 
Chicken Curry Soup

Garnish with Cilantro & Greek Yogurt


Ingredients: 

  • 1 TBS olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 6 boneless-skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1″ pieces 
  • 1 TBS curry 
  • 1 tsp ginger root, fresh, peeled & grated
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups diced peeled tomatoes w/juice (briefly blended)
  • 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled & chopped
  • 1/4 cup orzo
  • 2 TBS currants
Directions: 
Heat oil. Sauté onion, red pepper and garlic for 5 minutes. Add chicken, curry, ginger and red pepper. Sauté another 5 minutes. Add chicken broth, tomatoes, and apple. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20-30 minutes. Stir in orzo and currants. Let simmer for another 10 minutes or so, until the orzo has had a chance to cook. Serve with garnishes of cilantro and yogurt.  
Note: Sometimes I’ll serve it with sour cream if I forget to purchase yogurt. Our children like it with either.  I’ve also been know to substitute the red bell pepper with Trader Joe’s frozen Melange a Trois (Red, Yellow & Green Pepper Strips) since I generally have that in the freezer.  If our college boys are home I double the recipe. 😉

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
