  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Equipment

Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large soup pot over medium-high heat.

  6. Add the rice to the pot and stir to combine. Simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the rice is cooked through.
  7. Add the frozen peas and cooked chicken to the pot and simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the peas are heated through and the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
  8. Stir in the chopped cilantro and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • If you like your soup spicier, you can add more curry powder or cayenne pepper to taste.
  • If you have leftover cooked rice, you can use it instead of uncooked rice. Just add it to the pot at the end and simmer until heated through.
  • This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
