Instant Pot Mulligatawny Soup Recipes

MULLIGATAWNY SOUP

Steps:

• Chop all the vegetables and fruit - onion, carrots, garlic, and apples (core and peel apples before chopping).
• Cut the chicken breasts into small bite-sized pieces.
• Press saute on your instant pot and melt the butter. Add onion, garlic and carrots. Fry the vegetables for 2 or 3 minutes until they are slightly soft and fragrant.
• Add chicken, red lentils, Madras curry powder, black pepper powder and salt. Saute for 2 or 3 minutes until the chicken loses its raw, pink color and turns white. Add a few splashes of water if you find that the chicken is sticking to the pot.
• Add chicken or vegetable broth and finally the apples. Cancel saute and close the lid. Make sure the steam release handle is sealed. Hit pressure cooking (high) for 10 minutes. When the timer beeps, wait for 10 minutes and release pressure.
• Open the pot and stir in the coconut cream. If the soup appears to be a bit thin, simmer it on saute (normal) for 5 minutes.
• Take it out in bowls and garnish with chopped parsley, fresh chilli flakes and oregano. Squeeze some lemon juice as well if you want an extra kick in your soup. Serve with warm, crusty bread on the side.

• Pro Tip: First, prepare all of the produce and gather everything you will need to make this soup. It makes the process go smoothly, and you will have everything you need at your fingertips! I do this whenever I make a soup or dish with several ingredients.
• Turn on the pot to the Sauté mode (Normal heat). When the display reads "Hot" add the oil.
• Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cubes turn white, but are not fully cooked. Remove from the pot to a plate and set aside.
• Add the butter, onions, celery, carrots, and green pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for a few minutes, until the vegetables start to soften.
• Stir in the garlic and ginger, cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
• Sprinkle in the curry powder, garam masala, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir.
• Add the chicken broth, stirring well.
• Add the reserved chicken, tomatoes, rice, apple, and cloves. Stir.
• Put the lid on the pot and lock in place. Set the steam release knob to the Sealing position.
• Cancel the Sauté mode. Press the Manual (or Pressure Cook) button and then the + or - to select 7 minutes.
• When the cooking cycle ends, just let the pot sit and naturally release the pressure for 20 minutes or more. Then turn the steam release knob to release the remaining pressure.
• When the pin in the lid drops, open the pot and stir the soup.
