I am so happy to share this recipe with you, as it is my favorite soup of all time. Mulligatawny always reminds me of the Seinfeld soup nazi, but it was only a few years ago I actually figured out what it is and tried it. It only takes about 30 minutes to make, but I recommend making it a day in advance, because, like most soups, it's better after the flavors have had a chance to blend.

Ingredients
Start by heating oil in a large soup pot and adding the onion, bell pepper, carrot, celery and apple and cooking for about 5 minutes. In the past I've also added diced sweet potato, which is very good.

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided
- 1 can chickpeas
- 1 cup chopped peeled Gala or Braeburn apple
- 3/4 cup chopped onion
- 3/4 cup chopped carrot
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 3/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 28 oz. chicken broth
- 1/3 cup mango chutney
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- Plain yogurt or sour cream (optional)
- Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Start by heating oil in a large soup pot and adding the onion, bell pepper, carrot, celery and apple and cooking for about 5 minutes. In the past I've also added diced sweet potato, which is very good.
Add in the spices and cook for about a minute, the curry will turn it all yellow.
Add the chickpeas, chicken broth, tomato paste and chutney and bring to a boil.
Reduce and simmer for at least 10 minutes, but preferably more.
Top with plain yogurt and a little extra chutney. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if you have some around. Serve with pita or naan. I fully intended to make naan this week, but it just didn't happen.
This has a pretty good kick to it, depending on the spicyness of your curry and the amount of red pepper flakes. Use less if that's not your thing.
