    Do you make a lot of soups? I remember a former coworker once told me that she had never made homemade soup (despite cooking a lot of other foods from scratch), and I was shocked. I make soup ALL. THE. TIME!

    I think some people shy away from homemade soup because they think it's the kind of food that takes hours and lots of work to cook. While that definitely can be the case sometimes, it's just not true for all soups.

    Many can be prepared in well under an hour, with minimal hands on time. Like this Mulligatawny. (Side Note - anyone else think of Seinfeld's "Soup Nazi" when they hear the word "Mulligatawny"?)

    How do you make Mulligatawny?

    Mulligatawny is a curried soup filled with lots of veggies, chicken, apples, and rice.

    The soup isn't sweet, despite the use of apples. It's best to use a more tart apple like Granny Smith, which will also hold it's shape better in the soup. The apples lose their tart apple flavor once cooked and the flavor melds perfectly with the rest of the spices.

    The soup can be on your table is just under an hour, and much quicker if you make use of packaged, pre-prepped veggies and/or chicken, or pre-prep the ingredients ahead of time.

    Like many soups, you will have to do some veggie chopping, so make sure you have a good knife to make it go faster.

    • Canola oil

    Mulligatawny Nutrition Notes:

    The nutrition information in the recipe uses reduced sodium chicken broth for the calculations. If you use regular chicken broth, your mulligatawny will have more sodium. Cut back on the added salt if needed.

    Serve with a green salad to make a complete meal.
