Sweet And Spicy Chicken Pear Curry Soup (FM)
Recipes | December 11, 2015
*Makes 3 Portions
Ingredients:
3 tbsp avocado oil (or algae oil, or any oil with high smoke point)
1 lb chicken breast tenders chopped
2 fresh pears unpeeled, cored, and cut into small bite pieces
1 yellow onion sliced
1 clove garlic
1 small tomato
1 1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 tsp xanthan gum
Instructions:
- In a large skillet heat 2 tbsp of the oil over medium-high heat add the chicken, move it around for a minute and then cover with lid for about 7 minutes. Uncover and sautee’ until the chicken pieces start turning brown and are completely cooked through.
- Transfer chicken to a plate.
- Add the pears into the pan and sauté for about 2 minutes stirring occasionally.
- Add the onion and the remaining tbsp of oil and cook until soft. Stir at least here and there.
- Throw the tomato and garlic clove into a blender and make soup out of it (I use my Vitamix blender, which is really great. The little ninja blenders might be good too, but you need a blender that will really shred even the tomato peel)
- Stir in the curry powder and add the chicken broth. Sprinkle the xanthan gum over the soup and mix well. Add the chicken and turn off the heat.
- Let the soup cool down for a few minutes an then serve. You can season with freshly ground pepper. No need for extra salt, the chicken broth is salty enough.

It’s called Better Than Boullion – organic chicken broth. They have it for a discounted price in Thrive Market.

MMM, this sounds so good. I will certainly try this. By the way, I think you left out the curry powder in the ingredients list.
I might add celery and cilantro to this….
By the way, you could make this with Asian pear if you’re not feeling well or start to feel a sore throat. Asian pear is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine and is cooked in food for when we have a sore throat, cough, like in a cold or flu. It helps to stop cough. Also good for constipation. 🙂 This is a great recipe for cold/flu season. I would make it with bone broth, as this is extremely nutritious and healing to the gut, good for joints and ligaments/bones, etc. Very nourishing, healing, and protective for those cold winter months. 🙂

Mmm, I just made this! It has good flavor & is something different that I wouldn’t really come up with on my own. I used veggie chick’ns and some unsalted veggie stock that I had on hand.
Thanks for all these new recipes lately, Zuzka, it has really livened up my meals.
