This Famous Soup Is To-Die-For-Delicious!

You’d better be prepared for an explosion of a recipe because that’s exactly what I’m going to serve you! Mulligatawny soup has a funny name for someone who’s never heard of it before, but for those of us who have loved it for decades, it’s music to our ears. It is an English soup with origins in Indian cuisine, and that’s why it’s filled with all these wonderful spices that will warm you up on a cold winter or fall day.

But that doesn’t mean this soup is only good for the colder seasons. Oh, not at all! My family is so in love with this soup that we have this at least once a month, year ’round. And whenever I happen to catch a cold, I make this and amp up the spices even more. It makes me feel better instantly!

Feel free to make half a batch if you think 12 servings is too much for you, and you don’t want to freeze the extra. Also, if you’d like to make this more stew-like, all you need to do is use less chicken broth. Whatever your choice, it’s going to turn out super flavorful and amazing!

If You Haven’t Tried This Yet, You’ve Been Missing Out!

I am a big fan of macaroni meals, especially mac and cheese. It’s such an easy way to prepare a meal for your family, isn’t it? The kids love it, and there is that ooey, gooey cheese thing going on. I also love baked beans so I was very excited when my friend told me about a recipe that was combining these two comfort foods. How come I had never thought of this before? I’m sure the dish has been around for ages, but for some reason it has never crossed my path and I was completely unaware of this yummy concoction.

I’m not sure where mac and beans are coming from, but if I had to guess, I would say it’s a Southern invention. All the most delicious dishes always seem to come from the South! Do correct me if I’m wrong!

This is such a simple recipe and you can easily make different variations of it. So far I’ve only tried it “as is” – I really didn’t think it needed any tweaks at all, for me it was perfect!

Quick Tip: Use your favorite cheese for this, or change them each time for new flavors.

I Wouldn’t Mind Having This Soup 3 Times A Week

When I was little, I remember my parents teaching us that it’s the simple things in life that really matter.

Whether it was about a day trip in the summer, or an ordinary meal at home, they wanted us to be grateful for what we had instead of wanting to have something bigger, better or more expensive. Come to think of it, everyone in our large family were the same way. No matter what kind of jobs they had, or if they were able to live in a big house, or were driving a high-end car, everyone always remembered where they came from and what it took for them to get where they were now.

Whenever we had a get-together with all the aunts, uncles and cousins, it would be a potluck type of thing. And there were no fancy meals! It was all home-cooked, plain and simple ingredients, and absolutely delicious. We were all genuinely excited about all the familiar dishes that our grandmother used to make for us. Really, just the simple things and all the memories that came along with them.

For some reason, the pure simplicity of this butternut squash soup made me think of all that again.

Quick Tip: Use low-sodium chicken stock for a healthier option.

Out of all the Asian cuisines, I have only ever been addicted to Japanese cuisine. Indian in particular is something that I haven’t learned to love. It’s not that it tastes bad; Indian cuisine actually tastes really good. The problem with me is, it’s too flavorful for my own good. I am not a fan of strong flavors. I rarely finish eating anything that has a strong flavor no matter how delicious it is.

I first tasted this butter chicken at my friend’s party. Her parties have themes; and the theme for that day was Asian Cuisine. This one was placed on a separate table and had no label unlike the others. I thought it was a prank at first; until I was able to smell its delicious aroma. My friend confirmed that it was eatable, but it’s something that not everyone liked, which was why she didn’t choose it for her menu. However, the catering service made an honest mistake of replacing lemon butter chicken with this one. I got curious so I tasted it. Surprisingly, it wasn’t as strongly flavored as I thought it would be. Ever since, I have been looking for a recipe that will offer the similar taste. And this is what I recently found.
