Mulligatawny Soup

Serves 6, takes 1 hour

This soup was introduced to me through the much-loved TV show, Seinfeld, in the episode about the “Soup Nazi”. I had never had this famous soup before so when my husband asked for an Indian dish for dinner, I dove right in to try my hand at Mulligatawny. We were blown away by how great it turned out. While you could serve 6 people with this recipe, there were no leftovers at our house as my husband went back to eat 3 huge bowls of it! So, I give you, Mulligatawny…
