Welp, I’m back on track since my stomach flu hit on Monday afternoon. The stomach flu is the absolute worst. It hits you like a bus, you can’t keep anything inside your body, you have body aches, a high temperature, then chills. It’s a real party. At least it’s over in 36 hours. The problem is now I can’t seem to stomach savory food after eating salmon and salad right before the stomach flu hit. So all I want is gluten free granola or sheep’s milk yogurt or gluten free bread with almond butter and jam because it’s all I can stomach without gagging. It’s all quite lovely.
I even had a huge bowl of this soup left in the fridge and had to throw it out because it was grossing me out. What a shame.
Speaking of this recipe, this one is totally inspired by The Pioneer Woman! I absolutely love that woman. She’s just adorable. And I love watching her show on the Food Network. And the other day, she was making quick and easy meals and she made this soup! I had never heard of it before but was intrigued as soon as she said curry. I’m down for anything curry related, whether it’s Thai or Indian. And when she made it in 16 minutes, I knew I had to try it myself. But I put my own little spin on it. So thank you for the inspiration, Ree Drummond. And thanks for being the cutest human on television.
OMG you guys…we have a hot tub!! I’m so pumped!! I’ve only been in it once since I got sick right after it was finally warm, but that one dip was magical. Especially since it’s 1 degree outside right now. One. What’s even the point of that temperature? It’s pointless. I always forget how gross Colorado can be at times since it’s so wonderful most of the time. But luckily, this winter can’t get me down because my new hobby is hot tubbing. What am I gonna do on football Sundays? My new hobby, duh. Brunch, work, hot tub, nap. Sundays are finally perfect because of this new hot tub. And my marriage is even better because of it! Winning!

When I’m sick to my stomach, I have a strong aversion to meat (mainly chicken). So I TOTALLY understand not want to each savory foods and the soup. Just listen to your body – I think it wants “safe” foods that are not likely to make it sick again. Glad you’re on the mends!
i totally felt that way too! luckily some thai soup made all the difference!
This looks delicious and I bet would be great over some rice (I run – a lot – so I do rice)! 🙂 🙂
Glad you are on the mend … the stomach flu is the worst and it changes your tastebuds sooooo much! I was sick last year and all I wanted was a bagel and cream cheese (so not paleo but it was food and I needed something in my belly).
Enjoy the hot tub … I am freezing at 50 in Los Angeles!
Oh my gosh – I saw this episode on The Pioneer Woman the other day! I’m not a huge curry person – but she convinced me that I should try this soup – and the paleo version sounds even better, so thank you!
I love The Pioneer Woman too!!!
she’s the absolute best
OH MY GAHHH totally making this for dinner tonight. Thank you for the continual delicious recipes Juli. I’ve been craving a healthy soup that also has some substance and protein in it and this is perfect. And, I mean, it’s a curry…what’s not to love about this recipe?!
curry is always the answer!
Made this tonight and omg it is the best soup I’ve ever tasted!!! Thanks for the recipe share!!
This was so delicious! It disappeared quickly, so I will be making it again this week. Thank you for sharing!
I think I’ll add this to my list of recipes I make for myself that hubby won’t eat. He’s not a fan of soup and especially this type of flavour profile. I want to make it more of a hearty meal, so maybe I’ll add some peppers/squash and potato/yam. Looks tasty and super easy! I would love to say I have enough homemade broth at all times, but it’s so much easier to use packaged.
love that idea!
This was awesome!! I used my own turkey broth made from Thanksgiving…thankfully, the weirdness of me leaving my best friend’s house with 3 turkey carcasses has worn off since I do it every year! Throw those carcasses in a lobster pot and simmer away all day. Amazing. Oops, got off topic.
This soup is easy and fantastic. I got about 3 servings because I kept tasting it in the pot while simmering. I sort of doubted the apple and didn’t put the whole one in but I should’ve trusted you (my bad) b/c it really is a great addition. I also added a couple of handfuls of spinach, which I add to everything. Making this again soon!!
so glad you liked it, alissa!
Can you sub curry paste if you are out of powder?
it won’t be the same taste, but you definitely could!
