Mulligatawny Soup.

 

J found a tub of this soup in the "Specials" section in Lidl today.  They must be just selling for the run up to Christmas.

It is one of those soups that you place in the machine that goes "ping" for two minutes.

It wasn't bad.  I think I might have a go at making it from scratch some time.

Mulligatawny sounds like the name of a town in the West of Ireland.

Mulligatawny Soup could be the name of a prog rock group?

I have lit the stove and we have snow forecast for tonight and tomorrow.


It is definitely soup weather.
I think I will make some of my homegrown and homemade leek and potato soup tomorrow.  I could add some parsnip, onions and tomatoes?  🤔

Anyone else buying soup or even making it?

  1. I have just made a pot of sweet potato, carrot and swede soup for our lunches over the next couple of "snow days". Not homegrown though, unfortunately.

  2. Co-incidentally, Shirley and I also had Mulligatawny soup for lunch today. It was courtesy of Johnny Tesco who kindly put it in tins for us. Mulligatawny means "pepper water" but though it did have a little curry heat to it it was very mild.

  3. Just the ticket for a few days of snow JayCee. We bought our first bag of smokeless fuel for the stove yesterday. 17 Euros for a 20 KG bag. It's like burning money!

    1. What a coincidence YP. India gave us that soup along with Piccalilli and snooker and we gave them Cricket.

    2. We also thrashed them if they didn't follow orders.

    3. Yes. Chicken Tikka Masala was invented in Glasgow. Washed down with Iron Bru which I believe is made from girders.

  5. No snow or rain here for the last few days but we had meat soup. With mutton bones, potato, celery, carrots and lots of lemon juice and olive oil.

  9. Carrot and coriander sounds wonderful Marlene. My leeks are growing really well. It is good to harvest crops that we have sown from seed.

  11. Blessed are the soup/cheeese makers🤔. I think that may be peace makers. Potatoes and leeks are on the soup recipe today Debby.

  14. I'll be making some more soup later today. I don't like the tinned variety.

  15. I will eat tinned soup if I have to but I agree homemade is the best.
