My German mother would occasionally cook dishes that were not traditional German recipes. One of my favorites was her Curry Chicken Soup. I've added my own touches to it, such as the chickpeas, coconut milk and fresh cilantro.—Deanna Hindenach, Paw Paw, Michigan

Ingredients

4 teaspoons curry powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes

Delicious! I made it for my wife and me tonight. We loved it. We used the full complement of spices and it’s perfect.

Great soup. I did cut down of the spice by a tiny bit, used only 3 teaspoons of curry and a 1/4 of a teaspoon of cayenne....I wanted to make sure I could eat it. It's great. Will make again, was totally happy. Thanks for sharing.

Outstanding! My husband demanded it again two days later. It's also great with leftover turkey in place of the chicken.
