Chicken Curry Soup

I love curry, but not spicy. This recipe is not spicy at all…but you could easily add the amount of spice you like with seasoning like chili powder, peppers or sriracha sauce.

This is great because you can add just about any vegetable, fresh or frozen. Firmer veggies should be partially cooked or sauteed before adding.
