mulligatawny soup

Classic Indian flavours come together in this warming and healthy mulligatawny soup.

red split lentils

chicken stock

turmeric

oz potatoes (cubed in 1/2 inch dice)

Tbsp garlic/ginger paste

kashmiri chilies (- optional)

Tbsp vegetable oil

lemon

lb boneless skinless chicken thighs (or boneless skinless chicken breasts

tsp cumin

tsp coriander

tsp course ground black pepper

tsp kosher salt (plus more to taste)

Combine lentils, chicken stock and turmeric. Bring to a simmer. Then cover. That&#039;s important. Lentils boil over. Big mess. Cook, covered for 30 minutes.

Add potatoes. Simmer another 30 minutes.

Let the soup cool a bit. Then puree the lentil mixture in batches. Your blender works best. Return soup to pot. Be careful here. Make sure you are set up to release steam. You don&#039;t want to get burned. That would suck.

Prepare the lentils

Trim visible fat from the chicken. Cut into 1/3 inch chunks. Little bites really.

Add the oil to a clean frying pan. Heat over medium heat.

Pay attention at this point. Add the garlic ginger paste and fry, stirring constantly until the splattering stops.

Reduce the heat to medium low. Add the spice mix and continue to stir constantly for another 30 seconds. Regulate your heat. Don&#039;t let the spices burn! You are blooming spices here. This is where the magic happens.

Toss in the whole kashmiri chilies. Cook them around 15 seconds. Flip them. Cook another 15 seconds or so.

Turn the heat back up to medium. Add the chicken and continue to stir. Cook chicken until almost done - about 3 minutes. Stir the whole time. It may take a little longer. I don&#039;t know your stove or your pan so it&#039;s a little hard to be precise.

Transfer the chicken mixture to soup pot and stir it in. Simmer 3 minutes. Add lemon juice. Let it simmer another 2 minutes.

It will probably be too thick at this point. Thin it out with some stock. You want a texture somewhere around a full-bodied cream of soup.

Adjust seasoning (salt) to taste. To my taste another teaspoon or a bit more works. But everyone is different. Creep up on it. You can always add more salt. That&#039;s easy. Taking it away is pretty much impossible.

Serve with a spoonful of raita or drizzle with a bit of heavy cream.

onions (chopped)

peppers

carrots

75 g butternut squash

g red lentils

g basmati rice

garlic (peeled and crushed)

curry powder (mild or hot depending on your taste)

tomatoes

vegetable stock cubes (made up with 1.75ltr of boiling water)

tomato puree

½ lemon, juice only

coriander leaves

tbsp fat free Greek yogurt

low calorie cooking spray

Spray

Spray a large saucepan with low calorie cooking spray, place over a medium heat and sauté the onions and peppers for 3-4 minutes, until they are beginning to soften.

Add the garlic and curry powder, and cook for another minute, allowing the spices to become fragrant.

Add the carrots, butternut squash and lentils to the pan, then stir in the stock, tomatoes and tomato puree.

Boil

Bring the soup to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

Add the rice and continue cooking for a further 20 minutes, until the vegetables are soft.

Blend

At this point, you can blend the soup if you wish, but we prefer it chunkier, so take a fork or a masher and lightly crush some of the butternut squash. This will thicken the soup, while keeping a chunkier texture.

Stir

Stir through the yogurt, lemon juice and coriander and serve in a warmed bowl.

This Mulligatawny Soup is a traditional curry soup with origins in Indian cuisine and it’s deeply satisfying, comforting and delicious. Mildly spicy, creamy, loaded with chicken and apples, simply incredible!

A recipe for a Mulligatawny Soup that&#39;s spicy, comforting, delicious, healthy and perfect for this time of year. Red lentils and seasonal veggies like fennel and carrots blend into a pepper-spice and ginger-garlic flavored broth. A splash of coconut milk adds a creamy finishing touch.

coconut oil

cloves

cinnamon stick

green cardamom pods

bay leaves

tbsp black peppercorns ((reduce to up to

onion ((finely chopped))

curry leaves

garlic ((minced

coriander

besan ((chickpea flour))

carrot ((chopped in ½-inch pieces or rings))

potato ((diced in ½-inch cubes))

fennel bulb ((or apple. Chopped))

vegetable stock ((or water with 2 tsp vegetable bouillon))

Salt

cilantro ((for garnish))

White or brown rice

Soak the lentils in water before you begin the rest of the cooking. This is not absolutely necessary but it speeds up the time needed to tenderize the lentils a bit. Drain the lentils before you add them to the rest of the soup.

Heat the coconut oil. Add the curry leaves followed by the whole spices--cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, bay leaves and peppercorns. Saute for a couple of minutes over medium heat until fragrant.

Stir in the onions and saute for 3-4 minutes until they soften but don&#39;t brown. Add the ginger and garlic and saute for a minute.

Add the powdered spices: cayenne, turmeric, cumin and coriander. Stir to mix.

Stir in the besan or chickpea flour and saute for a minute so it toasts.

Add the vegetables to the pot--carrot, potato and fennel. Add a dash of salt and mix well. Saute for a couple of minutes.

Add the lentils to the pot along with three cups of vegetable stock. I don&#39;t add all five cups of veg stock at once because it is a pain to get all that soupy stock into the blender. Instead, I add a cup or two more of stock while blending, which also helps cool down the soup a bit when added to the blender.

Bring the soup to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer, cover with a tight lid, and cook 10-15 minutes until all the veggies are tender and the lentils have cooked.

Carefully, working in batches if needed, transfer the soup to a blender. You can also just use an immersion blender. Add a cup of stock and puree until very smooth.

At this point you can strain the soup for an even silkier texture, but I prefer to just use it as is. Pour the soup back into the pot. Add up to a cup more water if needed--I add it as I like my mulligatawny on the soupy side. Bring to a boil, then stir in the coconut milk.

Warm through without bringing to a boil. Turn off the heat and ladle into bowls. Top each bowl with rice, a bit of chopped cilantro and lemon zest and spritz on some lemon juice if you like.

This mulligatawny soup is full of fragrant Indian spices, rich with creamy coconut milk, loaded with vegetables, and a great source of protein thanks to the addition of red lentils.
