Oh, the joy that this soup brings me. It is perfect in so many ways- it's hearty, it's got veggies, it's got curry, & it's so tasty.
Assemble ingredients:1 TB olive oil
½ onion, chopped
1 cup peeled chopped carrots
1 cup chopped celery
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 TB curry powder
6 cups chicken broth
(or veggie broth)½ peeled and chopped Granny Smith
2 cups cooked rice, white or brown
2 cups cooked, diced chicken
(or none)1 tsp salt
¼ tsp dried thyme
½ tsp black pepper
¾ cup whipping cream
Add carrots, celery, & onion to oil & cook until soft.
Add flour & curry & stir for about a minute.
Add broth & bring to a simmer.
Add the chopped apple, rice, chicken, salt, thyme, and pepper.
Simmer 8-10 minutes & you have to stir it every once in a while because it will stick if you don't.
Add the cream, warm the soup through, and serve.
It's a great flexible recipe- you can add more liquid to make it more soup-y or more rice to make it heartier. You can add spicier curry to give it a kick. You can make it vegetarian. You can also use
cashew cream instead of heavy cream.
My family is ga-ga for this soup & I always double it when I make it because it freezes really well for later enjoyment.
P.S. We also served this at Lincolns' blessing party & people LOVED it!

Mmmmm, I think I need to make me some Mulligatawny Soup. I haven't made it in awhile, but I think you have just inspired me :)
I love this soup - just made it last week, in fact!
It's amazing how tasty it is. PS. I used nonfat greek yogurt instead of heavy cream this last time. It definitely wasn't as good.
Totally gonna have to try it...just so I can feel like the Soup Nazi. Okay, also 'cause it looks super tasty :o) And thanks for the cashew cream suggestion!
This is one of Dad's and my favorite soups. But I think we should go to India and try the real thing..don't you?
