This Mulligatawny soup originated in India, where “mulligatawny” means “pepper water”. Like many of my recipes, I’ve adapted it over the years to suit my taste. The curry powder gives it a unique flavour, and the chopped apples offer a bit of sweetness. This is one of my favourite supper meals in the winter–full-bodied but not too heavy.
