This one is a winner. Fantastic flavor and a thick, creamy texture. I used the Instapot with some minor modifications to the recipe.

I've never made chicken soup in the slow cooker - I've always simmered mine in a dutch oven most of the day. This soup really delivers. Because I was pressed for time, I completely skipped the browning chicken and veggies part. In fact, I threw six frozen chicken breasts in the slow cooker along with the rest of the ingredients up through the chicken broth. I did omit the bouillon granules. My family RAVED about this soup. The curry was a great addition. Didn't use the cornstarch.....didn't really need it. I just added heavy cream and fresh parsley at the end.
