Disclosure: Philips provided me with a Multicooker for recipe development at no cost to myself. My usual recipe development fee applies. An additional Multicooker for giveaway is being provided by Philips at no cost to myself. Opinions are my own. You need this soup.
Time for another giveaway on Family Feedbag and if you love your slow cooker you're going to love this prize! Philips wants one of you to win their brand new Multicooker (retail value: $249.99) for your own kitchen.
This countertop appliance does more than just slow cook. It also has settings for Brown/Sauté, Boil/Steam, Rice/Quinoa, Oatmeal, Bake/Roast, Stew/Soup and Yogurt. The versatility of the Multicooker makes it worthy of the minimal storage space I have in my small kitchen, and it has speedily made my old slow cooker redundant. I love being able to brown meat before slow cooking, or make a quick sauce afterward with pan juices, and do it all in the same pot.
Before we get to the giveaway, I am sharing a recipe for this gorgeous coconut curry chicken soup. The flavours are fantastic and the soup is thick and satisfying with comforting spices like curry powder, coriander and cumin. Served with a creamy spoonful of plain yogurt and a squeeze of lime juice, it makes for a hearty dinner or leftover lunch.
Also check out the other super tasty recipe I wrote for the Multicooker - Teriyaki Pulled Beef Buns.
Get the recipe for this simple and flavourful soup below and find instructions at the bottom of this post to win your very own Philips Multicooker!
Coconut Curry Chicken Soup (in the Philips Multicooker)
Makes 3-4 servings
1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
1 1/2 lb (675 g) chicken thighs, chopped into 1-inch pieces
1 cup (250 mL) diced yellow onion
1 cup (250 mL) diced red bell pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp (5 mL) grated fresh ginger
1 can (540 mL/19 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 tbsp (15 mL) brown sugar
1 tbsp (15 mL) + 1 tsp (5 mL) curry powder
1 tsp (5 mL) ground coriander
1 tsp (5 mL) ground cumin
1 tsp (5 mL) salt
1 can (398 mL/14 oz) coconut milk
One chopped green onion, some plain yogurt and lime wedges as garnish (optional)
Add the oil to the Multicooker and set on Brown/Sauté. Add the chicken pieces and sauté 8 to 10 minutes until fully cooked. Stir in the diced onion and bell pepper and cook another 5 minutes to soften the vegetables.
Set the Multicooker on Stew/Soup. Stir in the garlic, ginger, chickpeas, brown sugar, curry powder, coriander, cumin and salt. Pour in the coconut milk and stir to bring it all together. Close the lid and let the Stew/Soup setting finish its 1-hour simmer.
Serve right away or let the automatic Keep Warm function on the Multicooker save it for later. Garnish with chopped green onion, a spoonful of plain yogurt and/or lime wedges if desired.

ReplyDeleteThis product sounds amazing! I'm already planning menus! ;) brendell16@rogers.com
ReplyDeleteI signed in with google, so I hope you can tie that to my email address. Otherwise, I'd love to make hearty stews and totally curious about the oatmeal setting. That could make mornings much easier
ReplyDeletePulled Turkey and fall harvest stew. Mmmm. So many ideas
ReplyDeleteI'd like to make stews, soups, and chili.
ReplyDeletebrendapenton@gmail.com
I'd love to try making yogurt! I also love the idea of browning ingredients in the same pot before slow-cooking. Makes the morning so much easier!
ReplyDeleteOh my what not to make!!! Im on an afternoon shift work schedule, would be awesome to have some tasty soups/curries waiting for my son and I at the end of the day..yogurt too! This machine is amazing!
ReplyDeletepangijames@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteWinter Bean with Butternut Squash and Kielbasa Soup for sure a favorite of mine and I share some with friends and neighbors. Shirley - sjkelly00@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI love beef stew with potatoes, carrots, mushrooms and crushed chilis. I have some for dinner and the rest for lunch and freezer meals. So yummy and my kitchen does not get hot in the summer!

This curry looks great, Amy! I think I'd try making an overnight french toast casserole first – most likely cinnamon bun flavoured!
ReplyDeletecontact@ajsaxby.net
Boy that soup sure looks good.
ReplyDeleteI would probably do a stew first, but can think of so many recipes I could try.
Thanks for the chance to win. :)

I would LOVE to try the yogurt setting. I have tried making yogurt many times at home, but I love that I can use one appliance for so many things. ericadawnhebert@gmail.com Thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try some soups and stews in this. I've always browned my meat separately and then transferred to a slow cooker, so it would be great to be able to skip that step and do it all in one appliance.
ReplyDeletecatherinenash3@gmail.com
I would love to make your curry dish in it! barbaradepew@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I would love to try making yogurt and of course that Curry Soup recipe you posted looks divine!

ReplyDeleteDiscovered and bought your canning book at the Langford Costco. Then found your blog! Love being able to support Victoria entrepreneurs. Also thanks for showcasing the Philips Multicooker. Love the idea of being able to brown and then slow cook all in one appliance. I would make a good old fashion pot roast - browned then simmered in red wine, homemade tomato sauce and spices. A family favorite. perusi@telus.net
ReplyDeleteThere are so many things too make -- I would make chicken cacciatore or Swedish Meatballs to begin with

Nice recipe! As a food blogger also, I'd be making oh-so many things with this one. But, probably mostly soups, stews and gumbos. Mmm.
ReplyDeleteI can be contacted at danakristen.b@gmail.com

Your soup recipe sounds delicious - I'll definitely be trying it! With that amazing appliance I'd love to try out the baking function - loaves of breads and quick breads, maybe even sweet buns? Would be great to be able to bake without heating the whole kitchen in the hot summer months!
ReplyDeletenicoleentries@gmail.com
Like you, I love the idea of having a place to brown meet before adding it to sauces, stir frys or tacos. Yum!
ReplyDeleteCourt9876@hotmail.com
Oh, I can see soups in that slow cooker now! Great post!
ReplyDeleteCheri.Armstrong@ymail.com
Just watched the video on the link you provided and it looks so easy to use - definitely my kind of appliance! Not sure what I'd make first, but maybe a lentil soup...Lindamika@shaw.ca
ReplyDeleteThe soup looks amazing, and I will try. I had a Wolfgang Puck multi unit and loved it. I attempted to use it to make everything. This version seems more modern and useful.
ReplyDeleteI have wanted to make yogurt for so long but have never had the right appliance. This would solve that problem! I also love waking up to oatmeal already cooked. The browning option is brilliant! One pot cooking �� This appliance would be well loved in my house bspaven@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteWhile I'd like start with soups and stews, I really want to try the yoghurt option! Who knew that was possible?
ReplyDeleteLostinagreatbook (at) yahoo DOT ca
Curries, winter soups, Nigerian brown beans for my husband, oatmeal ... Oh sorry-you only wanted one thing! This is an amazing option!
