CHICKEN COCONUT CURRY SOUP - A.K.A. EASY MULLIGATAWNY!

Steps:

• Add chicken, reduce to medium heat. Let simmer about 10 minutes.
• Add potatoes, carrots, onions. Let simmer about 20 minutes.

• Once the potatoes are fully tender, remove from heat and add coconut milk.

• *** Notes: 1. Try not to substitute the fresh ginger or garlic for powdered or paste. This will really alter the overall taste (and not in a good way.). 2. Shake the can of coconut milk before using. Most of the coconut flavor is in the bits that settle at the bottom of the can. 3. You can add chilli powder to make this spicier. It really depends on how hot the curry powder you use is. I usually use a blend of very hot Madras curry powder and very mild Caribbean curry powder.
