For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable broth for chicken stock. Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini, peas, or corn. Toast the almonds lightly in a dry pan before sprinkling them on for an extra layer of flavor and crunch. Adjust the amount of curry powder and turmeric to your preference. A pinch of cayenne pepper can also add a nice kick.
