There's a million different ways to make it, some good, some not so much.What do you think of it?![]()
I haven't had it in years, but there was a time when every Indian restaurant I went into had a completely different 'Mulligatawny' soup. I always thought that because India was such a vast country, with different regional cooking, the dish could be named the same and bear no resemblance to the same soup 1,000 miles away. Some were tomato based, some had lentils and others didn't, some were milder than others, etc, . . . . .What do you think of it?![]()

Never had it. Never had any Indian food, but somehow I know the name. It must have been in a children's book of mine or something.What do you think of it?![]()
Thanks. That's what I thought. It seems as if I could make almost any soup at all, and still call it Mulligatawny soup.It’s OK, but there are large variations among the recipes.

How do you do that? Can you buy it in a can? I hate canned soup.I fully agree that it's a great soup.
It's lovely on a cold day with some good toast with loads of Olivio on it.
It's very popular in the UK and we always have it in the house.

We do have plenty can soup consumers, I am just not one of them. Tastes tinny, imho. I don't do bottled salad dressing either. We use the occasional cream of mushroom soup for casseroles etc. I freeze the condensed soup in ice cube trays to use when the need arises.Yep, it's canned.
I've honestly never considered canned soup to be a bad thing as it's so normal here is it not in the US?
