Mulligatawny Soup
with chickpeas / leftover rice

Active: 30 min Total: 30 min
Mulligatawny is a mild curry soup that is packed with unique flavors. The combination of Western soup ingredients with an Indian spice mix and a hint of sweet-tart flavor that comes (surprisingly!) from apples might sound strange, but the result is truly delicious.
Smarts: If you're going to have leftovers, wait to stir the rice in until just before serving.
