Soupy Sundays- Mulligatawny Soup

Mulligatawny Soup (perpetualfeast.com)

I heard about this soup for the first time on 'Seinfeld', remember the episode... 'NO SOUP FOR YOU'. Brent reminded me that this was Kramer's favourite soup from the Soup Nazi. It was nice and filling, I would add more curry powder or even some hot sauce for a kick.

Ingredients:

2 Tablespoons butter

1 small onion, diced

1 carrot, diced

1 stalk celery, diced

1 green pepper, deveined and diced

1 apple, peeled, cored, and diced

1 cup (about 1 pound) raw chicken breast, diced

1/3 cup flour

1-2 teaspoons curry powder

¼ teaspoon nutmeg

5 cups non-fat chicken broth

2 sprigs parley, chopped (I used dried parsley)

1 14 ounce can chopped tomatoes, lightly drained

2 cups cooked rice

Salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Melt the butter in a large soup pot. Add the onion, carrot, celery, green pepper, apple, and chicken.  Cook over medium low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mix flour with curry powder and nutmeg, add to the pot, and cook over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the broth, parsley, and tomatoes.  Partially cover and simmer for about 1 hour. Stir once in a while to make sure it doesn’t stick.  Add salt and pepper to taste. Spoon some cooked rice into the bowl when serving the soup. (I did this the first time, and then mixed the remaining rice into the soup for later servings.) 

Serves 6.
