Chicken Mulligatawny

Mulligatawny, which literally means “pepper water,” is an English interpretation of an Indian dish. It has seemingly limitless versions, but most have curry and a bit of chicken. We've added tart Granny Smith apples, plenty of spice and a touch of coconut milk.

This soup is easy to prepare and tastes great. I have also made it with vegetable broth, seitan, and brown rice for a vegan version, equally good. Alisha Sauer, Ames, IA	7 weeks 5 days ago
It is definitely better the next day. I make it a day in advance. I also prefer to up the heat with whole red pepper pods that are easily removed. Try swapping out the veggies from time to time just to change things up... Asparagus holds up well as do carrots and bell peppers. Anonymous, NJ	7 weeks 5 days ago
My daughter made this delicious soup. At first glance, I would have thought the recipe was too spicy for my husband. Not true at all. This soup is more sophisticated than regular chicken soup. Loved it. Tina, Marquette, MI	7 weeks 5 days ago

I eat Indian food frequently and was curious to make this variation. It is excellent - easy to make (some time to dice ingredients), sweet and spicy. Nice texture. The apples aren't overpowering and add so much. I do increase the spices to give it more zing. It's almost best the next day. Great served with homemade bread and sharp cheese.

Although this dish requires some prep work, it was very easy to make. It's great if you don't like spicy food, but for folks that enjoy a little heat, use the hot curry powder and up the amount of spices. Also, we used brown basmati rice and it was fine. And it's better the next day. Anonymous, San Francisco, CA	7 weeks 5 days ago
