One Pot Mulligatawny Soup recipe
Description
This Mulligatawny Soup is built on a sauté of aromatic vegetables including onion, celery, carrot, and jalapeño along with fresh garlic, ginger, apple, and tomato. Adding an array of spices such as curry powder, cumin, smoked paprika, cinnamon, turmeric, cardamom, and thyme infuses the broth with robust warming flavors. Red lentils cook down in chicken stock until tender, then the soup is pureed smooth and enriched with coconut milk, which lends creaminess and a subtle tropical note.
The soup is served by spooning jasmine rice into bowls, ladling the soup over the top, then garnishing with shredded roasted chicken, golden raisins, and chopped cilantro. These toppings add texture contrasts and fresh, sweet, and herbaceous accents. Freshly cracked black pepper finishes the dish with a mild bite.
The soup is simmered and blended for a consistent texture, making it a comforting, hearty meal that balances spice, sweetness, and creaminess in one pot preparation.
