What do you think of when you hear the name “Mulligatawny”? Seinfeld! Thought so. No soup for you! Just kidding! I have soup for you. And I have a yummy, creamy, curry soup, a.k.a. Mulligatawny soup. It’s one of my favorites really, I mean how can you go wrong with curry and apples?
What Is Mulligatawny Soup?
Mulligatawny Soup is a traditional curry soup with origins in Indian cuisine made with meat or chicken. There are so many different variations of this Mulligatawny soup, so this is just my version of this amazing soup.
I like my soups thick and creamy so they’re perfect for dipping your crusty bread in.
How to Make Mulligatawny Soup
I loaded this soup with chicken and rice and lots of veggies like carrots, celery and onions so it really is good for you. This soup is perfect for cold winter nights, which is exactly the kind of weather we’ve been having here, but nothing makes me feel better than a humongous bowl of this creamy goodness.
Don’t let the name Mulligatawny scare you because this soup really is simple to make and done in 30 minutes, which as you know is my favorite kind of meals, 30-Minute One-Pot meals! Ha!
The great thing about this soup is that you can really make it your own, throw in whatever veggies you have, skip the meat or the rice, or use small pastas instead like orzo or acini di pepe. Use half and half over coconut milk, but I would strongly recommend to keep the curry and apples, after all that’s what makes this Mulligatawny soup.

Hey there, this is absolutely the best! Super easy too.
How long after you add the apples do you continue cooking. It says a few minutes 🤷♀️
Should they be soft or stay crunchy.
I’ve never added apples to soup before!
2 more minutes, that’s it. Enjoy!
Absolutely love this recipe! One of my go to’s when I want soup for dinner. Made this for a friend going through Chemo treatment and it was a hit.
