New Zealand Curry

Perfect to serve when friends come over for dinner. It's sweet taste and fun "add-ons" make it kid-friendly too. It comes from a friend of our family's from New Zealand. If you can't find the powdered soup mixes, feel free to use canned mushroom soup and canned potato leek soup, just omit the 4-5 cups of water at the end.
