Chicken Mulligatawny Soup from

The best chicken soup I've ever eaten. This came from "The Frugal Gourmet On Our Immigrant Ancestors" by way of a friend of mine. It's easy to make, although you need to make sure you have all of the spices, and at least for me, they aren't the most common of spices. Having said that, you won't have any problem finding them in the local Safeway.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add more spices next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup didn't turn out as creamy as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This soup was delightful! The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the chicken was tender and juicy. I especially enjoyed the hint of curry and the creamy texture of the soup.
