Full of warm, spicy flavor, this mulligatawny soup recipe is one of my all-time favorites. It is packed with tender chicken, veggies, and brown rice all swimming in a rich, curry-based broth.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large soup pot. Add chopped onions, celery, and carrots, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and stir for one minute longer.
Add spices and brown rice, stir well, and cook for five more minutes. Keep stirring so it does not burn.
Add chicken broth, mix well again, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, chop up the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add them to the soup. Simmer for another 20 minutes.
Serve warm.
