EMERIL'S MULLIGATAWNY SOUP
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.

VEGETABLE MULLIGATAWNY SOUP
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.

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.

MULLIGATAWNY SOUP
This soup is a British-Indian cuisine hybrid, the result of colonizers' encounters with rasam - a spiced, soupy dish often enriched with lentils, sometimes served over rice - from Tamil Nadu, a region in southern India. "Milagu tannir," which means pepper water, was how Tamil people described some versions of rasam; it morphed into mulligatawny when the British made it thick, chunky and meaty. In the cookbook "Classic Indian Cooking," the author Julie Sahni wrote that she fell in love with mulligatawny when she first encountered it in Germany. "The present version bears no resemblance whatever to the traditional rasam," she said, adding, "Because of its unorthodox origin, Indian cooks have had a field day exercising their creative genius with it." This version is thickened with a roux, masoor dal and coconut milk, and bolstered with chicken thighs and tart apple. Curry powder is not a traditional Indian ingredient, but it reflects the dish's British influence.

Steps:
- Warm the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and shrunken, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook, stirring, until fragrant and softened, about 2 minutes. Add the mustard seeds, turmeric, curry powder, cayenne and cumin seeds, and cook, stirring constantly, until the mustard seeds pop and sizzle, about 90 seconds. Add the carrot, celery and apple, and cook, stirring, until just starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, then the flour, and cook, stirring well, to uniformly coat all the ingredients, about 2 minutes.
- Add the chicken, masoor dal and chicken broth. Season lightly with salt. Bring to a boil, stirring to scrape up any browned bits sticking to the bottom of the pot. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer.
- Cover the pot and cook for 10 minutes, then uncover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes more, until the chicken and carrots are tender, the soup is creamy, and the flavors have blended.
- Stir in the coconut milk and squeeze in the lime juice. Serve in bowls topped with a dusting of cayenne, if desired.

CHEF JOHN'S MULLIGATAWNY SOUP
I'm showing you my take on what is considered one of the world's greatest soups. Which was invented, I hear, because British soldiers in India weren't able to start a meal without soup. This is incredibly hearty, savory, and comforting, and something that should be on every soup lover's bucket list. Serve with naan.

SLOW-COOKER MULLIGATAWNY SOUP
This soup is the result of British colonizers' encounters with rasam, a souplike dish from Tamil Nadu, a region in southern India, that's often made with lentils. "Milagu tannir," or pepper water, evolved into mulligatawny when the British made it thick, chunky and meaty. In her book "From Curries to Kabobs," the author Madhur Jaffrey wrote that mulligatawny was "an essential part of my childhood," as she ate it at the homes of Anglo-Indian friends and in hotels on vacation. Mulligatawny now bears no resemblance to rasam and has many variations; it is a dish that was invented and modified for colonizers' palates, and thus it has few rules. Ms. Jaffrey noted that "some curry powder has to be included for a true East-West flavor," as curry powder is more British than Indian. This slow-cooker version is thickened with masoor dal and coconut cream, and enriched with chicken thighs and tart apple.

Steps:
- Combine all the ingredients except the coconut cream and lime juice in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.
- Stir in the coconut cream and lime juice. Taste and add more salt if necessary. Serve in bowls topped with a dusting of cayenne, if desired.
Tips:
- Use a good quality chicken broth or stock for the base of the soup. This will give the soup a rich and flavorful taste.
- Don't be afraid to use a variety of vegetables in the soup. The more vegetables you use, the more nutritious and flavorful the soup will be.
- If you don't have any cooked chicken on hand, you can use rotisserie chicken or even canned chicken. Just be sure to shred the chicken before adding it to the soup.
- Serve the soup with a side of rice, naan, or crackers. This will help to balance out the flavors of the soup and make it a more satisfying meal.
Conclusion:
Mulligatawny soup is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With its unique blend of spices and flavors, mulligatawny soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
