Had To Post This Recipe: Chicken Curry & Rice Soup

We just had an AMAZING dinner, and monkey bread is in the oven. I had to share the dinner recipe since it was only 256 calories per 1 full cup. So, without ado...

2 tbsp Margarine
1 onion chopped small
2 Carrots, peeled and diced small
2 Celery Stalks diced
3/4 cup whole wheat flour (King Arthur is best)
3 1/2 cups Fat Free Milk
2 Tbsp Curry Powder
1 tsp Ground Ginger
1 tsp Turmeric
1/2 cup Fat Free Sour Cream
4 cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth
3 cups Diced Cooked Chicken
2 1/2 cups wild rice (Cooked)

Saute onion, carrot and celery in margarine for 2 minutes. Add Flour and mix well. Gradually add milk. Add Curry Powder, ginger and turmeric. Bring to a boil and cook until thickened. Add Sour Cream and chicken broth gradually. Add chicken and rice. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20-25 minutes until vegetables are tender.

ENJOY!!

Let me know if you try this and what you think. I prepared the meat and rice ahead as wild rice can take 50 minutes to cook through.

Rainy Saturday Naptime

Today during naptime, I got to sewing!! I purchased a pattern from Shwin & Shwin (LOVE this blog) and got to sewing. Caroline was so excited to try it on when she woke up, and was AMAZED by the pockets as you can see!!

The pattern and original design can be found here: http://shwinandshwinarchive.blogspot.com/2011/10/we-love-to-offer-patterns-as-often-as.html
