Do not be scared of the raisins in this soup! They are the perfect addition to a nice curry broth and when you throw in some peanuts as well.. heaven! A lot of people gave me a funny look when I mentioned there were raisins in the soup, but it was a hit. Those people being my co-workers, who as usual, benefited from another recipe. There were rave reviews of it, and for good reason, it is a DARN good soup!
This was a gift this Christmas, in a lovely layered jar comprised of all the ingredients I would need, excepting chicken, broth and water of course. This makes a lot of soup, and I mean a LOT. My family ate it for supper, then I took it in to work and a couple girls and I had it for supper and then STILL the next day, I had supper at work.
What I would do with this recipe is try it as a half recipe first. Then, if it is something you like, make a whole bunch of bags/jars of it at once, seal them up, and you have it stocked in your pantry for months. The spices are the pain in the tush here, so doing it once, time and time again is enough to drive someone batty. This is a lovely recipe to make in multiples for yourself, as well as a gift.
