I've been sick ever since I got home from the HNF patient conference. Nothing major just a cold and body aches. I thought some chicken soup would be just the thing to make me feel better.
I did this recipe with a bit of an Indian twist. Some of the traditional ingredients in Indian cooking, like curry, coconut milk and turmeric also boost the immune system. Adjust the amount of curry you use, more if you want it spicy, less if you want a less mild flavor.
I was doing my cooking this week with the Wisconsin Badger game on the radio, so I was inspired to use my Badger mug. Go Bucky! I'll be going to the game next week so there may be no recipes next week.
4 cups chicken bone broth
1 can coconut milk
2 boneless skinless chicken thighs
4 ounces sliced white mushrooms
2 large carrots chopped
2 large stalks celery chopped
1/2 cup lentils
3 tablespoons Indian Curry mixture
1 tablespoon turmeric
4 dried red peppers
1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes, sliced with scissors.
Put chicken broth in a saucepan. Add the chicken thighs. Simmer for 40 minutes. Remove and cool slightly, then shred the chicken.. Put the chicken back into the broth. Put the mixture on simmer and add the mushrooms, carrots, celery and coconut milk. Mix well. Add the curry, turmeric and dried peppers. Cook for 20 minutes. Add the sun dried tomatoes.
Serves 4
