Mom's Chicken Curry Soup

Submitted by earth_child

"This is a delicious and comforting soup my mom has made since I was a little girl. It has a creamy broth with great flavor, and really must be experienced with some freshly baked bread. Mom always made this soup along with some homemade Dilly Bread."
