Mulligatawny Soup offers a wonderful array of flavors all in one fragrant soup. Originating in India, it has been subject to many variations in kitchens across the world. Common ingredients include apples, onions, and curry powder. In this recipe, you’ll use a slow cooker, which means you’ll make a beautifully-rich broth starting from dried chickpeas – no soaking needed. Don’t substitute canned chickpeas. You’ll want the broth that comes from cooking the beans for hours in the slow cooker. Mmmm, I can almost smell it already.
