Jamie Oliver’s Turkey Mulligatawny Soup is a curry-inspired soup made with leftover turkey, vegetables, warming spices, apple, and rice or lentils. It’s simmered until thick, aromatic, and full of comforting flavours.

Ingredients

Scale

    • 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded

    • 1 onion, chopped

    • 2 carrots, chopped

    • 2 celery sticks, chopped

    • 1 apple, peeled and chopped

    • 2 cloves garlic, minced

    • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter

    • 1–2 tablespoons curry powder

    • 1 teaspoon turmeric

    • 1 litre chicken or turkey stock

    • 1 bay leaf

    • Salt and pepper to taste

    • Fresh coriander for garnish

    • Optional: ½ cup coconut milk for creaminess

    • Optional: lemon juice for brightness

Instructions

1. Sauté the Aromatics

Heat oil or butter in a pot, then cook the onion, carrots, celery, garlic, and ginger for 5–7 minutes until softened and fragrant.

2. Add the Apple and Spices

Stir in the chopped apple, curry powder, and turmeric. Cook for 1–2 minutes to release the spices’ aroma.

3. Add Lentils or Rice

Stir in the lentils or rice so they coat in the spice mixture.

4. Pour in the Stock

Add the chicken or turkey stock and bring to a gentle boil. Add the bay leaf.

5. Simmer the Soup

Let the soup simmer for 20–25 minutes until the lentils or rice are cooked through and the soup begins to thicken.

6. Add the Turkey

Stir in the shredded turkey and cook for another 5 minutes to warm it through.

7. Finish and Serve

Add coconut milk for a creamy finish or lemon juice for brightness. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve warm.
