Mulligatawny Soup with Chicken
and leftover rice
We used feedback from our community to update this mild curry soup that was first featured in 2018. This soup is extremely unique thanks to a combination an Indian spice blend and a hint of sweet-tart flavor from apples. This version includes potatoes for extra heartiness and coconut milk for creaminess.

- Add spice mix to vegetables and cook for 1 minute to lightly toast the spices.
- Add chicken back to pan. Add stock, apples, potatoes, and bay leaves. Bring soup to a simmer.
- Simmer until potatoes are tender, ~20 minutes. (If the soup starts to boil reduce heat.)
