Yesterday, I introduced you to the beautiful and talented Ballerina Becky Erickson. Miss Becky was our guest on episode 10 of the Real Life, Real Passion podcast. We talked about her passion for dance, and why dancing form is so important. We also talked about nutrition and the role it plays in learning new things and in performing. Today, she is sharing her go to recipe for Chicken Curry Soup.

Becky believes in a diet of moderation. She does try to limit the amount of sugar and dairy she eats because they tend to be inflammatory foods, but she doesn’t eliminate them from her diet. She is very active, and doesn’t deny herself what she wants to eat, but she does make sure to balance any “unhealthy” foods she eats with lots of healthy ones.

Becky has lots of favorite recipes, but she decided to share this one for Chicken Curry Soup. It is a family favorite and one that can be enjoyed any time of year.
