Mulligatawny Soup - Beth's version

  • Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
Olive Oil, 2 tbsp Celery, raw, 2 stalk - dicedCarrots, raw, 2 medium - dicedJalapeno Pepper, 1 pepper - diced (don't remove seeds if you like your soup spicier)Lentils, .25 cup (dried)Curry powder, 1.5 tbsp Onion (Yellow), 1/2 medium size - diced Basmati Rice 1.5 cups cooked Chicken Breasts - 4 cooked and shreddedKnorr Simply Chicken Broth, 4 cup Coconut Milk - Thai Kitchen brand - 1 small tin (160 ml)(remove)
Directions
Saute celery, onions, carrots and jalapeno pepper in olive oil on low until onions are translucent. **if you like your soup spicier, leave the seeds from the pepper & add to the stock** Stir in curry powder to blend and cook for a minute. Pour in stock, add dried lentils and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.

While stock is simmering, cook rice (if not already prepared), and shred chicken. I use the breasts from 2 in-store cooked whole chickens.

When soup is done, puree in a blender (a little at a time if soup is still hot, as it will go all over the place). Once all the soup is blended to a puree, return to pot and season with salt and pepper. Add shredded chicken to warm through and get the flavour of the chicken into the broth (simmer for approx 5-10 minutes). If you like your soup a little thinner, just add water to adjust the consistency.

Just before serving, add coconut milk, stirring to blend, and then rice, stirring to incorporate though.
