Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (Frozen tenders may also be used)
  • 1 quart low-sodium chicken broth (Swanson Unsalted Chicken Broth is a good option, but your choice)
  • 1 quart water
  • 1 cup shallots, diced
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup wild rice, uncooked
  • 8 baby portabello mushrooms (sliced, aka cremini mushrooms)
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder (See Note #1)
  • 1 can (400 ml) coconut milk (See Note #2)
  • 1/2 cup mango chutney (optional garnish @ 1 tbsp per serving)
  • Fresh cilantro leaves, optional garnish
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Cut each chicken breast into 4-5 segments (or use frozen tenders, thawed). Then cut each segment (or tender) into 1-inch bite-sized pieces.

  • Step 2: Put the chicken pieces, chicken broth, water, shallots & garlic in a soup pot, cover & simmer 45 min.

  • Step 3: Add the wild rice, cover again & simmer 10 min. Stir well, add the sliced mushrooms, cover again & simmer 5 min.

  • Step 4: Remove from heat & add the curry powder (See Note #1). Stir in the coconut milk (See Note #2).

  • Step 5: Taste & adjust salt & black pepper to your taste preference. Rewarm the soup, if needed. Serve immediately w/a dollop of mango chutney & fresh cilantro leaves, if using.

  • Step 6: NOTE #1: Curry powder can vary widely in heat level & intensity, so start by adding 1 tbsp at a time until you reach your desired taste preference.

  • Step 7: NOTE #2: Thai Pride is the coconut milk brand sold in Iceland. 400 ml is the volume, so it’s a tad over 13 fluid ounces in the US.
