Joy at Home Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Maybe it's the snow and cold winter months, but soup is my new love. Today, I tried an easy recipe on a whim, and OH MY. Yum. Granted, I've never heard of Mulligatawny until the soup nazi Seinfeld episode, but this is awesome!

Carrot, chopped 1 stalk celery, chopped 1 green pepper, seeded and chopped (I didn't havew the celery or pepper, and it still turned out good) 1 medium applie, pared, cored and chopped (don't let this throw you, you can't taste the apple when it's done) (or sub. 1/2 c. unsweetened, plain applesauce 1 c cooked chopped chicken Stir frequently until onions are tender Stir in gradually: 1/3 c flour 1 tsp curry powder 1/8 tsp mace 2 whole cloves or 1/8 tsp ground cloves 1 tsp parsley 2 c chicken broth 1 - 15ox can cooked tomatoes salt and pepper to tast.

helena Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 We love it too. Here is our recipe: Mulligatawny I got this recipe from a friend of mine, she's an older Sri Lankan woman. There is no measuring in her recipes ingredients: a few potatoes peeled cut into big pieces a few carrots peeled chopped 1 or 2 tomato cut into large pieces any veggies you like. I use any of the following red or yellow bell pepper, mushrooms, cauliflower washed chopped generous amount of fresh ginger chopped/minced onion chopped garlic chopped pink lentils dry a few bay leaves tumeric cumin chili powder lemon juiced, seeds removed cilantro, washed chopped coconut milk from can (light not as good) salt/pepper I use a vegan chicken broth whole dried red chili crusty hard baguette torn or cut into small pieces sometimes I pan fry all the veggies first to bring out the flavor, and to give the potato and carrot a chance to soften up. I coat them in tumeric, salt and cumin to start the flavor. In a large pot with water and oil, add veggies in order of which veggies take the longest to cook. add spices(teaspoon of this teaspoon of that until you get it right) add chili powder to taste When all veggies are added, add a handful or two of lentils. I usually add some powdered vegan chicken broth, but it doesn't necessarily need c. broth though because the coconut milk is so rich. Throw in the bay leaves, and lemon juice cook on very low until lentils are done 20-30 minutes add coconut milk 1/2 can, then to taste salt pepper to taste fry whole chili in a little pan with plenty of oil garnish with cilanto, bread, chili, and chili oil yummy! The most important thing is to make sure the hard veggies get cooked all the way though, so you have to be timing it out right according to how big you cut up potato and carrot.

Crissy Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I was pretty young when Wings sang Mull of Kintyre, but I still think of Paul McCartney when anyone mentions Mulligatawny. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
