Mulligatawny Soup may have a funny sounding name, but you will love how delicious and comforting this curry chicken soup is.
I am told that this soup was made famous in the TV show Seinfeld. Apparently there was a soup guy and people clamored for this particular soup.
I never really watched that show, but I have made the soup. And the soup speaks for itself.
My version of Mulligatawny soup is a slow cooker recipe and can be a great way to use some leftover chicken if you have some set aside. Simply shred it and add it at the end.
To Make Mulligatawny Soup, you will need:
- onion
- bell pepper (any color)
- jalapeno pepper
- celery
- coconut oil
- chicken broth or stock
- tapioca flour
- curry powder
- sea salt
- ground nutmeg
- black pepper
- diced tomatoes
- coconut milk
- boneless, skinless chicken breast
- lime
- coconut milk
- rice or cauliflower rice
- slow cooker
- whisk
- small bowl
- skillet
Watch me make this recipe in the video below:
To begin, dice an onion, bell pepper, and stalks of celery.
You will finely dice a jalapeño pepper, but remove the seeds first. You can leave them in if you want the heat, but I prefer to remove them.
Heat some coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the diced vegetables. Cook until they are slightly tender and the onions are translucent.
Transfer the cooked vegetables to your slow cooker.
Pour in chicken broth (or stock), but save a little bit – about a cup or so.
Whisk tapioca flour into the reserved broth until it is combined, then add it to the slow cooker.
Add curry powder, salt, nutmeg, pepper, diced tomatoes, and a chicken breast.
Cover and cook in the slow cooker on low for 5-6 hours, or for 3 hours on high.
Carefully transfer the chicken breast to a cutting board and shred it.
Add the shredded chicken back to the soup.

Squeeze the juice of a lime into the soup.
Serve the soup with cauliflower rice or regular rice.
Enjoy!
This is truly a comforting soup and the slow cooker makes it incredibly effortless to make.
In our house, we enjoy soups all year long and I use my slow cooker more in the summer than I do in the winter.
Like most slow cooker recipes, this require very little hands-on involvement. So that means no standing over your stove on a busy day.
