Directions
In a large heavy saucepan, melt the margarine over moderate heat.
Add the onion, carrot, apple, celery, and green pepper and cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until the onion is soft.
Blend in the flour and curry powder and cook, stirring, 1 minute longer.
Add the chicken broth, tomatoes, cloves, mace, nutmeg, and black pepper.
Raise the heat to moderately high, cover, and bring to a boil.
Adjust the heat so that the mixture bubbles gently, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
Remove and discard the cloves; cool the soup for 10 minutes.
In an electric blender or food processor, whirl the soup in 3 batches for 20 seconds each.
Return to the saucepan, add the chicken and rice, and cook, stirring, over moderate heat for 3 to 5 minutes or until the soup is heated through.
Ladle into bowls, top each with 1 tablespoon of the yogurt, and sprinkle, if you like, with 1 teaspoon of the parsley.
