Mulligatawny soup is a hearty curry-flavoured soup with rice. My son and I both tried making this soup and we both loved it. We love the taste of the curry and the addition of the rice makes it a meal on its own. The apples added a nice sweetness to balance the heat from the curry. I used left-over rotisserie chicken meat for convenience and added flavour. In this soup, the vegetables were first sautéed in butter. The flour, curry powder and broth were added next. The mixture was then simmered for 20 minutes. The rice, apple and thyme were added next and simmered once more until the rice was done. The rotisserie chicken is added at the very last step. This comforting and hearty soup is a keeper!
