Cozy Chicken Curry soup is like snuggling under the covers on a cold day as it is filled with tender chicken, vegetables, ginger, garlic, turmeric and curry powder. Soup that warms you from the inside out in just 30 little minutes!
Oh my goodness! In just one 24 hour period, Hong Kong went from I feel like I may melt whilst waiting for the bus (30 degrees Celsius) to cracking out the sweaters (18 degrees Celsius). I love fall! I love the crisp air! This is just the kind of weather that needs more than just a soup. You need a Cozy Chicken Curry Soup with a therapeutic kick of warming ginger, anti-inflammatory turmeric and spicy curry powder to keep the chill and colds at bay.
You could make this soup in the slow cooker but I made this delicious soup in just about 30 minutes on the top of my stove. 10 minutes for chopping and 20 minutes to cook and you are in business. I did not even bother peeling my potatoes as this is a rustic and simple soup with no fussing required. If you are looking for another delicious nourishing easy less than 30 minute soup, be sure to try our Chinese Beef Noodle Soup Recipe.
Don't you just love when you have been working or playing out side and your fingers are chilled and you pick up the warm soup bowl and you can feel the warm steam on your cheeks. This soup is hearty and filling. I actually could feel the spices warm me from the inside out.
You are just going to love this Cozy Chicken Curry Soup as it is happily gluten-free, dairy free, low fat and warming. If you would like to make this meal paleo just swap out the regular potato for a sweet potato. You can make this vegan by using vegetable broth and exchange the chicken with more delicious vegetables like strong beans, cauliflower, root vegetables or whatever you like.
This is also the cold and flu season and the weather is unstable up and down so this cozy chicken curry soup is perfect to bring balance back to your yin and yang.
A huge cheat to this dish is just using your LEFT OVER curry into this soup. If you do not have a gluten allergy, you can even add Japanese udon noodles to the broth. Seriously simple just put your leftover curry in a pan, add chicken broth and season with salt and pepper and adjust curry, turmeric, ginger and cumin to taste, heat add cooked udon noodles and eat. The 10 minute little left over wonder. I promise I wont tell a soul, it will be our little secret.
If you have not eaten curry then my make from scratch 30 minute little cozy chicken curry soup wonder is perfect fall and winter lunch or dinner idea. If you had a slow cooker you would just add all the ingredients into the pot and the spices and like magic, while you are work, dinner is cooked!

Just a great soup with wonderful flavors, definitely a perfect finger warmer. Way colder here, more like 10C and I saw like 4C this wkd ... but was 20C this past Monday. Go figure. Adore that leaf shaped plate!
Raymund says
This sounds really delicious, never thought of mixing curry and soup together. Another great idea
Amira says
This is really very good soup, I feel I can smell it from here with all these goodies in it. This is a must try for me, went to my to do list.
allthatsjas says
Sounds perfect for the fall weather! I love your bowl set and always enjoy your photos, Bobbi!
Anna @ shenANNAgans says
The very same thing happened here in Canberra, we had sweltering 32c right down to 12c in a space of 24hrs. We even turned our heaters back on. Most unusual! Loving your warming chicken soup tho, it looks delicious. The temps are back up, but knowing the Berra, we can expect a few more drastic temp drops before we settle into Summer, so I am sure Ill get to enjoy this recipe. 🙂
Healthy World Cuisine says
Hello Anna! Mother nature just can't seem to make up her mind. Those huge swings of hot and cold are the perfect venue for people to get sick so I encourage you to get some extra vitamin C and enjoy a little soup as it will cure whatever ails you.
hotlyspiced says
We have had the same swings in temperature. Monday was about 33C and the next day was 18C; it's sundresses one day and winter clothes the next. I do love how healthy this soup is and the curry in it would give wonderful heat xx
Healthy World Cuisine says
Sometimes I crave something with a little spice. I never used to but now that I live in damp Hong Kong I crave it more and more...
Anu-My Ginger Garlic Kitchen says
Oh Bobbi! How I wish to have this chicken curry soup right now. And now I am dreaming about snuggling under the covers and having this warm soup. Love this is so quick and ready in 30 minutes!
nancyc says
This soup looks wonderful–perfect for fall! 🙂
Healthy World Cuisine says
Thank you Nancy! The leftovers, if there are any, are even better the next day.
John/KitchenRiffs says
I love soup (having some for dinner tonight) and I love curry. So this sounds terrific. Speaking of terrific, really nice pictures -- like the lighting. Forgot to congratulate you on the move to shooting RAW. It's more work, but I do think the results are better. Anyway, terrific recipe -- thanks.
Healthy World Cuisine says
Thank you John, your words of encouragement and gentle push for me to shoot raw was all I needed. Loving it. Loads more work but I think worth it. Still loads to learn but really enjoy the cooking and photography. My family just want me to keep cooking and skip the photography... as keeping my families little paws out of the photo for just a few minutes is my biggest struggle... LOL
Dawn says
Looks perfectly satisfying right now!!
Healthy World Cuisine says
Sending a virtual bowl your way!
Norma Chang says
Winter is coming to our neck of the woods and this is the perfect soup to chase away the winter blues.
Healthy World Cuisine says
Old man winter is surely on its way. I heard there is supposed to be a frost tonight so protect your harvest dearest Norma!
Norma Chang says
No frost yet, but tomorrow night for sure, must remember to cover my crops tomorrow.
Abbe @ This is How I Cook says
I can not tell you how good this looks to me right now! I have a cold and I don't feel good! This would be perfect. Maybe I can get Manservant to make it for me~
Healthy World Cuisine says
Wishing you a quick recovery Abbe! LOL Manservant... you are too funny!

This looks so yummy! Missing the fall weather you mentioned, its super hot and humid here in Singapore!
Monica says
I am pinning this to try one day very soon. I love soup, love curry so this is perfect for me. I'm sure my husband and I will devour it. Thanks!
Monica says
Hi Bam - just wanted to let you know I made this soup and my husband and I loved it! I knew it would it would a busy day today so I made a pot yesterday and heated it for dinner tonight. We just polished most of it off. I had big bowls myself (with some chinese broccoli on the side) and it was really tasty, totally hit the spot! : ) I love that it's spicy yet sweet from the carrots and onions. I'll definitely be making it again. Adding udon sounds like a great idea; I usually have some in the freezer. Thanks for sharing!
Healthy World Cuisine says
Hello Monica, so happy to hear that your family enjoyed the soup, its even better the next day.
