Instructions

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and stir for another minute.
Stir in the curry powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, ginger, and cayenne pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the diced chicken breast to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes (with their juices), and red lentils. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the lentils are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
Stir in the coconut milk and season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
Serve the Chicken Mulligatawny Soup hot, garnished with fresh cilantro. You can also serve it over cooked rice for a heartier meal.
Enjoy!
