Chicken curry soup

                                           Chicken Curry Soup

I had wanted to make Bread bowls for a while.

Well like I've mentioned it is soup season :)
So what better time to try a new recipe with a new soup recipe :)

A friend once brought me dinner when I was sick and G was traveling.
The dinner was spaghetti bolognese with lovely pretzel buns...Since then I have had this love of pretzel buns.
(The Spag Bol was pretty awesome also :)

So while checking out recipes I seen pretzel bread bowls... I knew this was for dinner with my new CURRY SOUP.

Always wanting to try new soups and something that we will all eat I knew this might be a winner.
It was more than a winner :)

What you'll need

Oil ~ 2 tablespoons
Chicken breast, cut into cubes ~ I used 4
shallots, chopped ~ 1/2 cup (or a brown onion)
garlic cloves, chopped finely  ~ 3
ginger, grated ~ 1 tablespoon
ground cumin ~ 2 teaspoons
ground coriander ~ 2 teaspoons
garam masala ~ 2 teaspoons

Potatoes peeled and cubed ~ 1 cup

In a saucepan add the oil, shallots, garlic and ginger. Cook for about 5-6 minutes
add the ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, turmeric cayenne pepper and tomato puree.
mix well.
Add the chicken, chicken stock, tomato ketchup, salt and pepper and cream. Bring to a quick boil.
As soon as the mix is boiling stir and put on the lowest setting of the stove.
Put a lid on the pan leave for 30 minutes, with checking occasionally  and giving a little stir.
After 30 minutes add the potatoes and stir well.
Put the pot lid back on but not completely on, leaving a little gap
Then leave on the lowest setting for about 40 minutes, until the potatoes are cooked

I served in home made pretzel bowls
