Mulligatawny Soup

Excellent recipe for Mulligatawny Soup. As usual, I have made changes to make this my own. (aka better)

Ingredients
1 cup chopped onion
4 stalks celery, chopped
2 carrots, diced
1/2 cup butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons (minimum) curry powder
8 cups chicken broth
1 apple, cored, & shredded - I used a cheese grater to make apple FINE
1/2 cup white rice
2 skinless, cooked boneless chicken breasts - cut into cubes
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste - I highly recommend Garlic Pepper
1 pinch dried thyme
1 cup half-n-half


Directions
1. Saute onions, celery, carrot, and butter in a large soup pot. Add flour and curry, and cook 5 more minutes. Add chicken stock, mix well, and bring to a boil. Simmer about 1/2 hour.
2. Add apple, rice, chicken, salt, pepper, and thyme. Simmer 15-20 minutes, or until rice is done. You will have to stir this periodically.
3. The last 5 minutes, stir in the half-n-half.


This is a huge hit with everyone in our home.
