My dear brother-in-law makes the best curry rice. I believe that his secret is that he replaces the chicken soup base by beef consommé and also adds more water so the rice is kind of wet. His rice with his pork chops is one of the best meal you can have.

Ingredients:

2 chopped medium onions
50 ml butter
15 ml curry powder
250 ml Uncle Ben’s Converted rice
650 ml chicken soup base

Method:

In a medium sauce pan, melt butter and cook onion for about 5 minutes
Add curry and mix well
Add uncooked rice and mix well
Sauté the rice for 2-3 minutes, stirring often at high temperature
Add chicken soup base and cook for about 17 minutes

The quantities are given only as an indication. This soup is a real meal on its own. It’s very nourishing and kids love it.

Cheryl based her recipe on the soup Grand-ma Adèle prepares. Every time we go to Chicoutimi, the girls ask their grandma to make this soup. They love it! The soup and their grandma!

Ingredients:

4 l chicken stock
250 ml uncooked rice
400 ml cut green beans (1 cm long)
4 carrots, chopped in cubes
1 chopped onion
3 chopped celery stalks
1 green pepper (can also use a red pepper or a combination of both)
1 can of tomatoes (750 ml)
400 ml broccoli, chopped and peeled
250 ml cabbage chopped (optional)
15 ml oregano
15 ml basil
15 ml parsley
5 ml thyme (optional because Cheryl does not like thyme)
Salt and pepper to taste
30 ml tomato paste
500 ml leftover cooked meat such as chicken, cut in small cubes

Method:

Bring the stock to a boil and add the rice
After 5 minutes, add all the other ingredients except the meat
Boil for another 20 minutes
Add the meat and boil for 5 more minutes
