Ahhh...fall...let the soup pour!  I love soups and stews and can eat them all year round!  My family, on the other hand, prefers their meals a little "cooler" in the summer months.  I look forward to fall for soups and stews to make their reappearance on our menus!  Here's a favorite:

Curried Chicken  and Rice Soup

2 large carrots, chopped
2 stalks of celery, chopped
1 onion, chopped, 3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup flour
1 tsp. seasoned salt
1/2 - 1 tsp curry powder
3 (12 oz) can evaporated milk
4 cups chicken broth
2-3 cup chicken, cooked
2 cup cooked long grain brown rice

In a large saucepan, saute vegetables in butter for two minutes.  Whisk in flour, seasoned salt and curry until smooth.  Gradually add the milk.  Bring to a boil and stir two minutes.  Gradually add chicken broth.  Stir in chicken meat and rice.  Return to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.

Easy as that!  I love meals that can be prepared with so little fuss!  Pair this with a crusty roll and a perhaps a salad.  Yummy!

For those forgoing (with good reason) boughten seasonings:

Seasoned Salt


6 tablespoons salt

1/2 tspspoon dried thyme leaves

1/2 teaspoon marjoram

1/2 teaspoon garlic salt or garlic powder

2 1/4 teaspoons paprika

1/4 teaspoon curry powder

1 teaspoon dry mustard

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/8 teaspoon dill weed

1/2 teaspoon celery salt

Curry Powder
4 Tbsp dried coriander
2 Tbsp ground tumeric
1 1/2 Tbsp ground cumin
1 Tbsp fenugreek
1 1/2 tbs EACH ground black pepper, poppy seeds, ginger and
dried red chile
3/4 tsp dried mustard
1/2 tsp ground cardamom

As with all homemade spice blends, store these tightly sealed and well away from heat and light.

See you next week at Overwhelmed for more recipes!

I would love this, but my family would act like they were dying if I fed it to them. Not fair!
