THIS WEEK'S FESTIVE FARE: "Low-Calorie Mulligatawny Soup"

This delicious soup takes only 20 minutes to prepare and 1 hour cook time TOTAL! Not bad for a delicious full bodied soup that leaves you fully satisfied in the volume per serving and taste department! The word "Mulligatawny" I have learned, is from a combination of two words, (Oriental and Indian) meaning "Pepper Water!"

Well, don't let that name fool you. With the additional Curry, the flavor of this soup is other worldly and your entire family is certain to enjoy this one! Until Next Time, Candace Ingredients:
