Instructions
In a large kettle, combine margarine and onion and sauté. (This allows more flavor to develop in your soup.) Add chicken, apple, carrots, celery and green pepper. Stir and cook 5 minutes. Stir in flour and curry powder. Slowly add broth, tomatoes and juice, pepper and cloves and stir. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 30 minutes or until ingredients are tender. Stir in parsley and simmer uncovered 5 minutes. You may add small pasta to this recipe if you would like. Also, you may want to add smaller amounts of the curry powder or omit, depending on your preference….that’s the beauty of soups. Adjust the recipe to your family’s liking.
