Mulligatawny Soup Recipe

Mulligatawny Soup combines chicken, sweet potatoes, apples, and a blend of vegetables with yellow curry powder and coconut milk to create a thick, flavorful curry-infused soup. The mixture is thickened with cornstarch and simmered to meld the savory and sweet elements, finished with optional garnishes that add creaminess and brightness.

Description

The Mulligatawny Soup Recipe features a savory base of sautéed garlic, onion, carrots, celery, red and green bell peppers, and sweet potatoes cooked in sesame oil. Diced apples and yellow curry powder are added along with cooked chicken breast and a substantial amount of chicken stock to build depth. Cornstarch mixed with water thickens the soup during simmering, and coconut milk enriches the texture and flavor.

This soup melds mild curry spices with the natural sweetness of apples and sweet potatoes, creating a balanced and comforting flavor profile. The vegetables add texture, and the chicken provides protein. Optional garnishes like crème fraîche, goat cheese, croutons, and chives enhance creaminess, tang, crunch, and herbaceous notes.

The soup can be reheated gently either on the stove or in the microwave. It stores well in the refrigerator for up to four days and freezes for up to three months, maintaining its flavor and texture when reheated properly.

Notes

  • Adding apples late in cooking prevents them from becoming mushy, preserving texture.
  • The soup can be made vegetarian by omitting the chicken protein.
  • Homemade curry powder can be used as a substitute for the yellow curry powder if desired.
  • A roux can be used instead of cornstarch for thickening.
  • Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to maintain soup texture.
