Submitted by Boca Pat

"I found this recipe in our local newspaper and have since made it several times. It's great if you have left over chicken. Now, instead of making my usual chicken soup, I always choose to make this instead."

This is a very good recipe and I appreciate you sharing it with us. I do double the amount of curry used, but that is for my own preference.

Very good for the time spent preparing. I used 2 tsp of Red Thai Curry Paste instead of curry powder. I mixed in after the flour 'cooked' but before the addition of the stock. Definate keeper.

All I can say is this soup was a treat for the senses; rich, fragrant, lucious and heady,a perfect balance of flavors. It it now one of my all-time favorite soups. Thank you for sharing the recipe, and for all the kudos I received when I served it!

Simply superb! I loved the blend of different flavors and the rich taste. Easy to prepare, even if it takes a while to chop everything up. I used leftover turkey and subbed half-n-half for the cream to lower the calories, but it was still plenty rich. I will make this one again and again. Delicious.
