CHICKEN COCONUT CURRY SOUP - A.K.A. EASY MULLIGATAWNY!



Chicken Coconut Curry Soup - A.k.a. Easy Mulligatawny! image

This is my absolute favorite soup of all time. I've made it for friends and family from Europe to the Caribbean, haven't met anyone who could pass it up! This recipe is based on a soup I tried at an Indian restaurant in Montreal about 5 years back. It was soooo delicious and creamy. I have no idea how they made theirs, but my take is really, really close and super easy.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 whole boneless skinless chicken breast, and cut into 1 inch cubes
3 cups potatoes, peeled and diced (about 5 medium sized potatoes)
2 cups carrots, peeled and diced (about 2 large or 3 medium carrots)
1 cup onion, peeled and diced (about 1 large onion)
3 tablespoons curry powder
2 tablespoons freshly grated gingerroot
2 tablespoons freshly grated garlic
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 chicken stock cubes
2 liters water
1 (15 ounce) can coconut milk
1 teaspoon salt (adjust according to taste)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper (adjust according to taste)

Steps:

  • In a large pot add water, chicken stock cubes, salt pepper. Bring to a boil.
  • Add chicken, reduce to medium heat. Let simmer about 10 minutes.
  • Add potatoes, carrots, onions. Let simmer about 20 minutes.
  • Add curry powder, ginger, garlic, salt & pepper. Reduce to low heat. Let simmer about 10 minutes.
  • Once the potatoes are fully tender, remove from heat and add coconut milk.
  • Puree with hand blender.
  • Serve with Basmati rice and enjoy!
  • *** Notes: 1. Try not to substitute the fresh ginger or garlic for powdered or paste. This will really alter the overall taste (and not in a good way.). 2. Shake the can of coconut milk before using. Most of the coconut flavor is in the bits that settle at the bottom of the can. 3. You can add chilli powder to make this spicier. It really depends on how hot the curry powder you use is. I usually use a blend of very hot Madras curry powder and very mild Caribbean curry powder.

4 medium garlic cloves, 2 peeled and 2 finely minced
1 1/2 tablespoons ginger (minced or grated)
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium onions, chopped medium
1 red pepper, chopped
1 cherry pepper
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1/2 cup unsweetened dried shredded coconut
1 1/2 tablespoons curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (pepperincino)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
10 cups low sodium chicken broth
2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped coarse

8 skinless chicken thighs (about 1 1/2 pounds) or 8 skinless chicken legs (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons cilantro, minced, fresh

Steps:

  • Place the 2 peeled whole garlic cloves, 2 teaspoons of the grated ginger, and the water in a blender. Blend until smooth, about 25 seconds; leave the mixture in the blender jar and set aside. (You will be pureeing the soup right in the blender with the garlic and ginger.).
  • Heat the butter in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat until foaming. Add the onions, peppers and tomato paste, stirring frequently, until the onions are softened and beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in the coconut and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the minced garlic, remaining 2 teaspoons ginger, curry powder, cumin, chili flakes, and flour; stir until evenly combined, about 1 minute. Whisking constantly and vigorously, gradually add the chicken broth.
  • Add the carrots, celery, and whole banana to the pot. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Add the chicken, cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. With tongs, transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board, cool slightly, and pull into bite-sized pieces.
  • Puree the soup in batches in the blender with the garlic and ginger until very smooth. Wash and dry the pot. Return the pureed soup to the clean pot, add the reserved chicken, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Warm the soup over medium heat until hot, about 1 minute. (The soup can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Warm over low heat until hot; do not boil.) sprinkle with the cilantro, and serve immediately.
