Found this recipe online, tweaked it a bit, and holy cow do we LOVE it! It is so easy and full of flavor! I was skeptical of the apple, but holy bajeezes it makes for a taste explosion!
I made this in about an hour and a half, but most of that time was spent doing something else and stopping by the pot to stir.
Mulligatawny Soup

1/2 cup chopped onion
2 stalks celery, chopped

1/4 cup white rice

1/2 cup heavy cream, heated
Directions:
1. Saute onions, celery, carrot and butter in a large soup pot. Add flour and curry, and cook five more minutes. Add chicken stock, mix well and bring to a boil. Simmer about 1/2 hour.
2. Add apple, rice, chicken, salt, pepper and thyme. Simmer 15-20 minutes, or until rice is done.

* I used a Granny Smith apple because that was what we had in the fridge. Use what you choose!

** Chicken: There were no specific instructions on how to prepare the chicken, so I cooked them in a fry pan with a bit of olive oil for a bit and then threw them in the oven. The chicken was incredibly tender and juicy!
This is excellent reheated as well! The flavor only seemed to increase. I can say this with certainty becaue I am writing this post during my leftover soup lunch! YUM. Also, I absolutely love having a chopper thing for veggies! The onions, celery and carrot were chopped and ready to go in no time!
Enjoy!
