Mulligatawny Soup is a South Indian recipe that was made popular in British India during the 18th century. Most versions of this curried soup include rice, however, in this recipe we use shredded chicken, potatoes and apples, and flavor the soup with Lemon Curry and other spices often used in Indian dishes. Coconut milk is also added for a delicious creamy flavor that goes so well with the spices. The combination of all ingredients makes for a perfectly flavorful and spiced exotic soup that is just amazing!
