I will say that I wish I'd cut all the vegetables and fruit the night before cooking the soup. There are quite a few vegetables involved in the recipe, so it's a bit time consuming. It took me about an hour just to cut everything up. Vegetables and fruit involved were: celery, a bell pepper, a carrot, an onion, and one large granny smith apple. Oh, and then there's the raw chicken breasts you have to thaw and cut into cubes. Yuck.
Spices involved were: curry powder, nutmeg or mace, and salt. Honestly the reason I chose to try this recipe is because I LOVE CURRY. Not only does it have a lot of health benefits, but it's also Delicious with a capital "D".
After all items were chopped, I had to cook it in a skillet. If I had known how much came from all of the chopped up vegetables and chicken and flour added, I would have used the deep skillet. I used a shallow skillet that I normally use for cooking eggs and other things.
Although the recipe tells you to add the rest of the ingredients to the skillet, I just mixed those ingredients in a soup pot (see pictures below), heated it up on medium low just before the skillet ingredients were ready, and then dumped the skillet ingredients into the pot. After that, I had to bring it to a boil, cover it, and cook on low for 45 minutes.
Next time I make this soup though, I will try adding rice. I think it would add a nice texture and more substance.
So, was it good? Yes, yes it was. I will definitely be making it again.
Also, I would like to add that the oil and aloe water make-up remover has been working quite well. My skin has never looked better!
