  • Combine apple, onion, celery stalks, carrot, jalapeno pepper, ginger, curry powder, garlic, garam masala, and red pepper flakes in a stockpot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and saute until starting to soften, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Pour chicken broth and tomatoes into the pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, add chicken breasts, and cover. Cook over medium heat until chicken is no longer pink in the center but still tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Shred the chicken in the pot. Stir in coconut milk and spinach. Remove soup from heat as soon as spinach begins to wilt, about 1 minute. Garnish with cilantro. Place 1/2 cup cooked rice in each serving bowl and ladle soup on top. Place a wedge of lime for squeezing into the soup on the side of each bowl.
