Mulligatawny (Indian Dal) Soup

I keep hoping, praying for one more snow day during these winter months.

Snow is a special thing when you live in the South. It may make people go crazy and buy everything off of the shelves at the grocery store, but any sign of the little flakes gives everyone an excuse to stay in, wear your warmest pjs and make a big pot of soup in case you’re snowed in for days.

When I’m making my big pot of soup, I prefer one with curry powder or garam masala, or both! I’m also a big fan of sweet potato and any chance to use my own vegetable stock.

If you haven’t ever heard of Mulligatawny Soup, then don’t worry. It’s another one of those beautiful British-Indian mash-ups (like tikka masala) that is sure to please.

This soup is also special because it’s thick and creamy (thanks to healthy coconut milk) and is wonderful served on your favorite rice. Ours is basmati.
