Easy Mulligatawny Soup
Description
Easy Mulligatawny Soup starts by cooking butter, onions, celery, and carrots, then thickening the mixture with flour and seasoning it with curry powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Chicken broth is added gradually before simmering for 30 minutes. Apple pieces, chicken chunks, and rice are added for further cooking until the rice is tender. The cream is stirred in last to enrich the soup’s consistency and flavor.
The soup combines savory spices with mild sweetness from the apples, while the tender chicken and rice provide body. The texture is creamy and smooth with soft vegetable bits throughout. The method produces a balanced dish with layered flavors.
This soup can be served as a standalone meal and reheats well. It’s good for cooler days when a warming, substantial soup is desired.
Cooking times can be monitored using kitchen timers to ensure proper doneness of rice and chicken. Adjust seasoning as preferred before serving.
