Step 1

Preheat a soup pot and add olive oil. Add onions, celery and carrots, saute for approximately 5 minutes or until vegetables are starting to soften. Add apple, cook another minute or two. Add flour and curry powder, stir well and cook one minute more. Add chicken stock, bring to a boil then reduce heat. Simmer for 30-60 minutes.

Step 2

Using an immersion blender, puree soup until smooth. Add orzo or rice and diced chicken, simmer until orzo or rice is cooked through and chicken is hot. Season well to taste and serve immediately.
