Mulligatawny Soup Ingredients

Method

Mulligatawny Soup Directions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Base

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

    Add Aromatics

    Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Vegetables

    Add the diced carrot and celery to the pot. Continue to sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Add Apple and Lentils

    Mix in the diced green apple and the rinsed lentils. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

    Spice It Up

    Sprinkle the curry powder over the mixture and stir to coat the vegetables and lentils evenly.

  6. 6

    Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer.

  7. 7

    Simmer the Soup
