The list of ingredients is long, but don't let that intimidate you! It's actually quite easy to make. You can find the more exotic ingredients at Asian markets, natural food markets, or the Asian section of well-stocked grocery stores. This soup tastes best when made 24 hours before eating.

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

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.

SPICY MULLIGATAWNY SOUP ( CHICKEN )
This is from Cooking Light. I love it but it is a bit spicy so to make it mild decrease the pepper flakes, use mild curry powder and use a mild chutney. Great over rice and with pita bread. If you make it spicy, it's wonderful with cucumber raita to cool it off!

CHICKEN MULLIGATAWNY SOUP FROM "THE FRUGAL GOURMET"
The best chicken soup I've ever eaten. This came from "The Frugal Gourmet On Our Immigrant Ancestors" by way of a friend of mine. It's easy to make, although you need to make sure you have all of the spices, and at least for me, they aren't the most common of spices. Having said that, you won't have any problem finding them in the local Safeway.

MULLIGATAWNY SOUP ( CHICKEN )
I am not sure if I should list this under Indian, or English foods since it was a creation by English folks who found themselves in India. I found this in one of my cookbooks. Since I make my meal plans off of RecipeZaar exclusively I have not been using the cookbook. I figured I would put a few here so I can use them. The cookbook is "Red Hot" the ingredients list and directions have been slightly altered. This book was written in the UK I changed things a little to be clearer to me and other US readers. If you would like different measurements let me know, the book has things in metric and imperial measures also.
