How to Make My Mulligatawny Soup

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 inch ginger (grated), 1-2 green chilies (finely chopped, adjust to taste), 1 teaspoon curry powder, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and lightly browned and the spices are fragrant (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Add 1 large carrot (chopped), 1 medium apple (peeled, cored, and chopped), 1 medium potato (peeled and chopped), 1 cup red lentils (rinsed), and 4 cups chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the lentils and vegetables are tender (about 15-20 minutes).
  4. Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and blend until completely smooth. Return the soup to the pot.
  5. Stir in 1 cup skim evaporated milk, 5-10 drops of coconut essence, and the juice of 1 lime. Add 1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander (cilantro). Heat through gently, but do not boil.
  6. Serve hot and garnish with extra coriander, if desired.
