We loved this soup. For the basic soup, we substituted a can of coconut milk for the coconut cream, thanks to Gerry 999 for that hint, and added some rotisserie chicken that I bought to save time. We added onions and apples sauteed in butter and zucchini. The kids loved this with a little dollop of plain greek yogurt on top. Thank you, French Tart!

Great tasting soup! Had this recipe printed waay back - all the while looking for coconut cream that one would cut into chunks. Finally decided to go with a can of thick coconut milk. Measured in 1 cup then added what was left in the can. Used 2 cups chopped cooked chicken breasts, 2 large onions, 1 chopped apple along with the spices - the end result made for a wonderful Sunday supper soup - and lunch today. Pity there is none left for supper tonight! Cooked rice and added 2 tablespoons to the bottom of the bowl. Did I say how much we loved this soup! Now I have another favorite to add to the one we make ... and plenty of flavoring ideas from your recipe. Thank you French Tart for both the recipe and the wonderful introduction to 'Pepper Water' soup!

DH and I really enjoyed this soup! It is very different from what we are used to. I had to make a couple of changes due to what was in the house. I used homemade turkey stock and had to leave out (unfortunately) the chutney and cardamom. I used 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts that I had gently poached. This will be made again during the winter months. I served it with "Indian-Spiced Chapati Flat Bread". Thank you for sharing this lovely soup!!!

I've been craving mulligatawny for some time now so I finally made it today for our lunch. This wasn't like any mulligatawny I remember, but maybe somethings are better forgotten I've decided. I cooked off the apple and onion until softened and lightly browned, then added in the spices and finally the liquid. I can't remember when I saw creamed coconut here so used a tin of light coconut cream instead-it worked well. After simmering for 25 minutes, I added in about a cup of cooked rice and the meat of a chicken leg (thigh and drumstick) and cooked a further 5 minutes. We ate this with a generous dollop of minted yoghurt which worked will with the spicy, sweetish soup. I feel like cooking some rice and another chook just to make this again for lunch tomorrow.
