CHICKEN COCONUT CURRY SOUP - A.K.A. EASY MULLIGATAWNY!



Chicken Coconut Curry Soup - A.k.a. Easy Mulligatawny! image

This is my absolute favorite soup of all time. I've made it for friends and family from Europe to the Caribbean, haven't met anyone who could pass it up! This recipe is based on a soup I tried at an Indian restaurant in Montreal about 5 years back. It was soooo delicious and creamy. I have no idea how they made theirs, but my take is really, really close and super easy.

Provided by MTLcook

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 whole boneless skinless chicken breast, and cut into 1 inch cubes
3 cups potatoes, peeled and diced (about 5 medium sized potatoes)
2 cups carrots, peeled and diced (about 2 large or 3 medium carrots)
1 cup onion, peeled and diced (about 1 large onion)
3 tablespoons curry powder
2 tablespoons freshly grated gingerroot
2 tablespoons freshly grated garlic
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 chicken stock cubes
2 liters water
1 (15 ounce) can coconut milk
1 teaspoon salt (adjust according to taste)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper (adjust according to taste)

Steps:

  • In a large pot add water, chicken stock cubes, salt pepper. Bring to a boil.
  • Add chicken, reduce to medium heat. Let simmer about 10 minutes.
  • Add potatoes, carrots, onions. Let simmer about 20 minutes.
  • Add curry powder, ginger, garlic, salt & pepper. Reduce to low heat. Let simmer about 10 minutes.
  • Once the potatoes are fully tender, remove from heat and add coconut milk.
  • Puree with hand blender.
  • Serve with Basmati rice and enjoy!
  • *** Notes: 1. Try not to substitute the fresh ginger or garlic for powdered or paste. This will really alter the overall taste (and not in a good way.). 2. Shake the can of coconut milk before using. Most of the coconut flavor is in the bits that settle at the bottom of the can. 3. You can add chilli powder to make this spicier. It really depends on how hot the curry powder you use is. I usually use a blend of very hot Madras curry powder and very mild Caribbean curry powder.

MULLIGATAWNY



Mulligatawny image

A sweet and spicy, British-born soup that features a heavy Indian influence with ingredients like coconut milk, lentils, and curries. There are about a million varieties, but I prefer the smoother, soupier versions than the more rustic, chunkier stews. Garnish with peanuts and cilantro and drizzle with heavy cream.

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 27

3 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

1 medium Granny Smith apple - peeled, cored, and sliced
1 medium onion, diced

6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 tablespoons finely chopped peeled, fresh ginger
1/2 jalapeno, stemmed, seeded, and chopped
1 tablespoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1/4 cup all-purpose flour

3 tablespoons minced fresh coriander (cilantro) leaves, plus 12 sprigs
1 cup unsweetened canned coconut milk
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for garnish
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, ginger, and jalapeno and cook, stirring, until browned, about 12 minutes. Lower the heat to medium, stir in the coriander, cumin, and turmeric, cook until fragrant, stirring, for 45 seconds. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute more.
  • Pour in the broth and bring to a boil while whisking constantly. Add the lentils to the thickened broth, lower the heat, and simmer, covered, until very tender, about 45 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  • When the lentil mixture has cooled, stir in the cilantro. Working in batches, transfer the mixture to a blender and puree until smooth, or puree with an immersion blender. Return the puree to the pot and reheat over medium heat.

2 tablespoons garam masala
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
2 cups small diced onions
1/2 cup small diced carrots
1/2 cup small diced celery
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced ginger
2 cups peeled, cored and diced Granny Smith apples
1 cup peeled and diced Yukon gold potatoes
1 cup peeled and diced sweet potatoes
1 cup dried red lentils
6 cups chicken or beef stock

1 cup peeled, seeded and chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
3 cups steamed white basmati rice
1/2 cup toasted, finely ground cashews
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Set a 4 or 5-quart saucepan over medium heat and add the ghee. While the ghee is heating, season the chicken with the garam masala and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Once the ghee is hot, add the chicken and cook, turning often, until golden brown and fragrant, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside to cool.
  • While the chicken is cooling, add the onions, carrots and celery to the hot pan and saute until lightly caramelized, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and apples to the pan and saute until the apples are caramelized, about 7 to 8 minutes. Add the potatoes, sweet potatoes, and lentils to the pan, along with 4 cups of the chicken stock. Raise the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook the soup until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Add the reserved chicken, the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, the pepper, remaining 2 cups of chicken stock, zucchini, squash, spinach, coconut milk, and tomatoes. Continue to cook the soup at a simmer until the lentils and chicken are both tender, 10 to 15 minutes longer. Remove from the heat and stir in the cider vinegar. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. To serve the soup, place 1/4 cup of the rice in a warmed bowl, and pour 8 ounces of the soup over the rice, garnish with a tablespoon of the cashews, and 2 teaspoons of the cilantro.

CROCK-POT MULLIGATAWNY SOUP



Crock-Pot Mulligatawny Soup image

A strong and tasty soup. This is not a creamed soup like many mulligatawnies. It's loaded with bite-size veggies and chicken.

Provided by Kimosabe

Categories     Chowders

Time 8h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 cups chicken broth
2 cups canned diced tomatoes
1 small onion, fine chopped
1 large carrot, fine chopped
1 small peeled sweet potato, small cubed
1 bell pepper, fine chopped
3 boneless skinless chicken thighs, small cubed
1 large apple, peeled and small cubed
1/2 lemon, juice of
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
black grated pepper
1 1/2-2 whole cloves

Steps:

  • Place all in Crock-Pot and cook high 4 to 6 hours or on high for one hour and then low for 7 to 9 hours.
  • It's done when vegetables are fully soft.
  • Sometimes old crock pots don't put out enough heat to be finished by stated cooking times.
  • When it's all done, take about two cups of it and put it in a blender and puree. Use a towel over the blender top and hold down firmly to avoid a hot splatter. In a few seconds its about the consistency of baby food.
  • Stir it back into the soup. This really idealizes the broth of the soup without watering it down.
  • Like a lot of things, I think this might be better on the second day.
  • Note: other additions could be: chopped coriander, frozen thawed green peas, cubed white potatoes, diced turnips, diced zucchini.
  • Yield: 6 to 8 servings.

VEGETABLE MULLIGATAWNY SOUP



Vegetable Mulligatawny Soup image

The Tamil words milagu tannir mean "pepper-water," so it is not surprising this vegetable soup has a peppery bite. You can add 4 tablespoons of red lentils, if you so desire. The soup is fairly thick but may be thinned out with as much stock as you wish. In its thick version, it makes a very good sauce for hard-boiled eggs. Serve as a first course or a light meal with crusty bread, fried croutons or plain rice. Offer lime wedges on the side.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
2 tablespoons whole coriander seeds
1 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon whole fennel seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 1/2 tablespoons chickpea flour
4 to 5 cups vegetable stock (bouillon cubes may be used here)
2 small potatoes (8 ounces), peeled and diced
2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
2 small turnips (8 ounces), peeled and diced
12 fresh curry leaves or 8 fresh basil leaves
2 garlic cloves, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon peeled and finely chopped fresh ginger
1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk
1 1/4 teaspoons salt, or to taste
Lime wedges for serving

Steps:

  • Put the peppercorns, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and fennel seeds in a small cast-iron frying pan and set over medium-high heat. Stir and roast until the spices emit a roasted aroma and some turn a shade darker. Empty into a plate to cool, then grind in a clean coffee grinder or other spice grinder. (It is a good idea to sift the ground spices through a fine sieve, stirring them about with a spoon as they pass slowly through the mesh. This is not absolutely necessary, but it makes for a finer soup.) Add the turmeric and cayenne to the spice mixture.
  • Put the chickpea flour in a bowl. Slowly add 2 tablespoons of the stock, mixing as you go. Add another 4 cups of stock and mix.
  • Combine the chickpea flour mixture, spices, all the vegetables, the curry leaves, garlic, onion, and ginger in a large pan and bring to a boil. Cover, turn the heat down to low, and simmer for about 50 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender. Blend the soup in a blender in several batches, if necessary, and then press through a coarse sieve. Return the soup to the soup pan, add the coconut milk and salt, and bring to a simmer. Simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes to blend the flavors; thin out with more stock, as needed. Serve hot with lime wedges.

SPICY MULLIGATAWNY SOUP ( CHICKEN )



Spicy Mulligatawny Soup ( Chicken ) image

This is from Cooking Light. I love it but it is a bit spicy so to make it mild decrease the pepper flakes, use mild curry powder and use a mild chutney. Great over rice and with pita bread. If you make it spicy, it's wonderful with cucumber raita to cool it off!

EASTERN-STYLE MULLIGATAWNY SOUP



Eastern-Style Mulligatawny Soup image

This is the recipe from Shalimar Restaurant in Albany, NY. It is amazing. Enjoy this soup with some vegetable samosas and cheese naan bread. As with most soups, the longer you cook it, the more flavorful it is. Also, this soup is better when its a little thicker rather than watery.

Madhur Jaffrey's Vegan Mulligatawny image

Mulligatawny is a lemon & black pepper flavored lentil Indian soup. This recipe is an adaptation of several different adaptations of Madhur Jaffrey's recipe. I like it very lemony so I usually add more lemon juice to my individual bowl afterwards!
