Mulligatawny Soup
Mulligatawny Soup is a flavorful curried chicken soup enriched with shredded carrots, apples, rice, and golden raisins simmered in a spiced chicken broth. The addition of coconut milk or heavy cream adds creaminess and depth to the broth, resulting in a balanced combination of savory, sweet, and mildly spiced flavors. This comforting soup is hearty and aromatic.
