    This is an Americanized Mulligatawny soup recipe! It is super yummy and healthy. I made some minor changes to the original recipe so that it is something my daughter (allergic to dairy) can eat.

    1/2 cup chopped onion
    2 stalks celery, chopped
    1 carrot, diced
    2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
    1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
    4 cups chicken broth
    1/2 apple, cored and chopped (do not peal)
    1/4 cup brown rice
    1 skinless, boneless chicken breast half - cut into cubes
    salt to taste
    ground black pepper to taste
    1 pinch dried thyme


    Directions

    Saute onions, celery, carrot, and oil in a large soup pot. Add flour and curry spice, and cook 5 more minutes. Option: blend into a thick broth
    Add chicken stock, mix well, and bring to a boil. Simmer about 1/2 hour.
    Add apple, rice, chicken, salt, pepper, and thyme. Simmer 15-20 minutes, or until rice is done.


    This can be a soup (6 servings) or served over rice (8 servings)

    Hello Fellow Slytherins!! Sorry I was MIA this weekend. I had a death in the family and we decided that we would spend the weekend together and celebrate her life! It was great. Over indulged a little on food, but that's ok. One weekend won't kill me!


    CHALLENGES FOR THIS WEEK:


    OWLS: Complete 300 Alternating Leg Lunges for the week. You can use dumbbells if you'd like for the extra weight and resistance, but you don't have to.
    0 - 50 = 0 OWLs
    50 - 100 = 1 OWL
    101 - 175 = 2 OWLs
    176 - 225 = 3 OWLs
    226 - 299 = 4 OWLs
    300 = 5 OWLs



    NEWTS: This week, lets monitor our fat intake. Try to make sure your fat intake is under goal each day.
    0 days = 0 NEWTs
    1 day = 1 NEWT
    2 - 3 days = 2 NEWTs
    4 days = 3 NEWTs
    5 - 6 days = 4 NEWTs
    7 days = 5 NEWTs

    I love Harry Potter and this challenge seems pretty fun. I would like to join for fun. I only have about 5 more lbs to lose for my goal weight but I do exercise alot during the week and am presently training for a marathon next year. Anyways, is it too late to join or what can I do to join? Thanks!
