Steps:

• Rub chicken breasts with chili powder and 1 teaspoon salt. Place in a baking dish and let rest for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Bake chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and coarsely shred with 2 forks; set aside.
• Pour coconut oil into a large pot and heat over medium heat. Add carrots, apple, onion, and celery. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, then add in garlic and ginger. Cook 1 minute more.
• Pour in 4 cups chicken stock, coconut milk, lentils, both curry powders, cumin, thyme, mustard, cinnamon, oregano, coriander, turmeric, nutmeg, cayenne, and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 30 minutes.
• Fish out and discard the bay leaf. Use an immersion blender to blend into a smooth sauce. Add tomato paste and chicken; cook for another 20 minutes. If it appears too thick, add a little more stock, but the soup is pretty thick. Season with remaining 1 teaspoon salt.
• Spoon cooked rice into bowls and ladle soup over top to serve.

Steps:

• Add the butter to a pot over medium heat and let it melt. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden. Add the garlic and onions and cook, stirring, for a couple of minutes.

Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine; cook for another minute to thicken. Add the half-and-half, brown sugar and some salt and pepper and cook for 5 more minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a deep, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, cumin, and turmeric and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the onions, carrots, celery, and turnip if you're using it and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 10 minutes. Add the stock, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Stir in the curry powder and cool the mixture slightly if time allows (it's never a good idea to puree boiling hot mixtures if you can avoid it). Use a food mill, an immersion blender, or an upright blender to puree the stew.
• Reheat the stew in the saucepan, season with salt and pepper, garnish with cilantro, and serve.
• Mulligatawny with Coconut Milk
• Stir 1/2 cup coconut milk, homemade (page 584) or canned, into the soup after seasoning with salt and pepper; heat through and serve.
• Chunky Mulligatawny with Chicken
• Add 1 pound chicken breasts or thighs, skinned, boned, and cut into 1/2 inch cubes, to the saucepan with the vegetables. Do not puree the soup.
