CHICKEN MULLIGATAWNY SOUP FROM "THE FRUGAL GOURMET"

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.
