Autumn's Best Mulligatawny ( Chicken )

• 1 whole roasting chicken, cut in pieces
• 6 -8 cups water
• 2 teaspoons salt, to taste
• 3 -4 medium onions, coarsely chopped
• 1 stalk celery, coarsely chopped
• 3 carrots, peeled & chopped
• 2 -3 tart apples, cored & chopped

• 14 cup vegetable oil (or less)
• 12 cup flour
• 1 -2 tablespoon curry powder, to taste
• 1 pinch cayenne, to taste
• salt & pepper

1. In soup-pot, cook chicken, water, salt and two of the onions, celery and carrots; bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover & simmer for at least a half-hour.
2. More finely chop the remaining onion(s), then in a large frying pan, saute onions in oil until transparent.
3. Add chopped apples, continue sauteeing for 4-5 minutes, then add garlic to the pan.
4. Quickly sprinkle flour and curry powder over the apple-onion mixture, mix and cook for about 1 minute (maybe a bit more).
5. Remove one cup of broth from soup-pot, and pour slowly over the apple-onion mixture, stirring all the while; add another cup of broth if you'd like, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
6. Slowly pour roux from frying pan into soup-pot; stir well to blend.
7. Simmer for another half-hour.
8. SERVING SUGGESTION: Put 1/2 to 1 cup of rice in each bowl OR over egg noodles, spoon stew-soup over rice and garnish with parsley.
9. OPTIONAL VARIATIONS: Figure one piece of meat per serving.
10. OR Use 3-4 cups of meat picked from the turkey carcass at Thanksgiving.
11. OR Add giblets to the stock as it cooks for additional flavor.
12. OR Use bite-size chunks of breast meat in place of the whole bird.
13. SUBSTITUTION: Replace the water with chicken soup stock or bouillon.
14. WARNING: Do NOT mix rice or noodles with the soup when you put away the leftovers -- the soup will turn into a soggy mess of curried pudding.
