Mulligatawny Soup 4 servings

As a child growing up in the UK brown Windsor and Mulligatawny soup were very much part of my culinary experiences. This morning I woke up craving Mulligatawny soup . I am not sure why, as I haven’t had any for at least 25 years !

But this spice scented soup is simple to make and you adapt it to be vegetarian or vegan.

I made mine with a chicken stock today because I had some in the freezer.

The smell when cooking gently wafted me back the earliest memories of my culinary adventures in my childhood .

Perfect Hot Salt Beef Sandwich When I was twenty I was lucky enough to work a stall in the world famous Petticoat Lane market on Sunday mornings, Back in the day the market was mainly Jewish market traders we were part of the very special history of the East End of London, The excitement, hustle and bustle, comradeship between the stall holders was second to none, we worked all weathers , and shared each other’s joys and sorrows. but the icing on the cake was visiting Blooms on Whitechapel Road after trading had finished for a succulent hot salt beef sandwich, nothing can erase these memories from my mind even though its over half a century ago.
