Step one

Heat oil in large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add celery, onion and carrots and stir-fry until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Step two

Add broth, chicken breast pieces and VH® Tikka Masala Sauce; bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes, partly covered. Add rice to soup and continue cooking 15 minutes more.
Step three

When rice is cooked, blend in apples, cream and fresh parsley. Simmer for 3 minutes. Pour into bowls and serve immediately. Garnish soup with toasted sliced almonds.

Tips

Try this soup with leftover cooked turkey instead of chicken. Try replacing the chicken broth with leftover turkey broth also!

Leftover cooked plain white rice can be used.

Need a vegetarian option? Try using canned lentils instead of chicken and vegetable broth instead of chicken broth!

A lively chicken soup, this westernized Indian version uses fresh and unique ingredients.
