Chicken or Lamb Mulligatawny Soup, "no Soup for You, Next!&

Submitted by knobbyknee

"This recipe was given to me from a friend years ago. She made it one time for a function and I thought it was incredible! She photo copied it out of her cookbook and some how I ended up washing it in my jeans pocket. But it worked when I made it from the very clean folded paper."

This is wonderful soup!! I cubed a large chicken breast and cooked it in the soup. I also used 1/4 cup arbario rice, because that is all I had on hand. Will make this often!

Mmm... this was so good! I used beef cut up really small (it was sort of a mistake, but it worked out well.) I also upped the spices and added garlic because we like things spicy. I'm thinking about trying it with some rosemary and some different veggies... Gaa! My mouth is watering as I think about this soup!

I made this today as written except I used chicken soup base to make the broth. It was very good! I would make it again!
