Nancy,
This is one of our favorite soups. It's filling and very satisfying on a cold day.

Mulligatawny Soup

1 medium onion
3 stalks celery
2 medium carrots
1/2 cup butter
3 Tbls all-purpose flour
3 tsp curry powder
6 cup chicken broth
1 Granny Smith apple
1 tsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
¼ tsp cumin
1/4-1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp salt & ¼ tsp pepper
1/2 tsp dried thyme
3/4 cup white rice
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup plain yogurt

12.5 can quality brand premium chunk chicken (can cook and cut your own if you like – breast meat preferred)

Cut apple into chunks and place in blender with about 1 cup of chicken stock. Puree, then add all spices except for curry & cumin, but no need to mix. Set aside.

Chop the onion, celery, & carrots , and sauté in a large pan in the butter. Add the flour, curry, & cumin, & cook 5 more minutes.
Add 1-2 cups of chicken stock to cool down a little, & then puree in blender.
Pour into a large pot, & add the rest of the chicken stock. Mix well & bring to a low boil over medium heat.

Simmer about 1/2 hour, uncovered, stirring occasionally.

Add the rice, chicken, & apple and spice puree. Cover & simmer 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking to the bottom of the pot.

Before serving, blend in the yogurt & cream.
This is an Indian soup and is wonderful comfort food.
