    I don't know about you, but I love a good cookbook. I know that in this day and age there are tons of free recipes out there, but something about holding a good cookbook in your hands just feels right.

    A couple of weeks ago I had the privilege of getting a copy of a brand new Keto Cookbook, Keto Cooking with your Instant Pot by Dr. Karen S. Lee.

    It is full of gorgeous photos and delicious recipes. My favorite thing about this cookbook is that the recipes are all super unique, full of wholesome ingredients, and most importantly they are recipes that the entire family will love.

    This Chicken Mulligatawny Soup was the first recipe that I tried from the cookbook and it is definitely a keeper! In fact, my entire family loved it - even my super picky husband went for seconds!

    Ingredient substitutions

    The recipe written below is exactly as it appears in the cookbook. I did make a few modifications for convenience and to suit my personal preference.

    I prefer thick soups, so I reduced the chicken broth to one cup which worked great for my family. I also used boneless skinless chicken thighs since that is what I had on hand.

    The recipe didn't state to cut up the chicken, but the next time I make this I think I will cut it into bite sized pieces before cooking so that it will be easier for my littles to eat.

    I also used frozen cauliflower rice, which I just stirred in when the pressure had released from the pot. I usually prefer fresh cauliflower, but I had some of the frozen variety on hand and was actually really happy with how it turned out.

    Lastly, I used ginger paste from a tube instead of fresh ginger. This modification was also just due to what I already had on hand and it also worked well.

    I hope that you enjoy the recipe, and the cookbook as much as I do!

    • Instant pot

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 4 tablespoon Butter
    • 1 Small Onion Chopped
    • 1" Fresh Ginger Minced
    • 1 Celery Stalk Chopped
    • 2 Small Carrots Diced
    • 2 teaspoon Curry Powder
    • 1 teaspoon Salt
    • ½ teaspoon Pepper
    • ⅛ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
    • ⅛ teaspoon Dried Thyme
    • 8 Chicken Thighs, Bone-in and skinless
    • 3 cups Chicken Broth
    • 2 cups Cauliflower Rice or Minced Florets
    • 2 cups Full Fat Coconut Milk
    • ¼ cup Fresh Cilantro, plus 1 tbsp Chopped

    Instructions
     

    • Turn on the instant pot by pressing "saute" and set to "more." Insert the inner pot and wait until the panel says "Hot." Melt the butter in the inner pot and saute the onions and ginger for 2 minutes or until the onions are soft. Add the celery and carrots and stir for 1 minute. Add the remaining ingredients except for the coconut milk and cilantro and press "Cancel."
